Will Mike Pompeo be Trump’s antagonist in the Republican primary?
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told a crowd in Illinois this week that he is preparing to run for elections in 2024.
“We have a team in Iowa, a team in New Hampshire and South Carolina. And it is not a coincidence. We are doing the things that are done to prepare, ”Pompeo told 1,100 people at an event in Chicago on Tuesday, according to a Politico reporter.
The Epoch Times reached out to Pompeo's Champion American Values PAC for comment.
"We are trying to figure out if this is the next place to serve," he said at the event. “If we consider it so, we will go and explain to the American people the reason for this choice. And in the end, I pray that the American people will make a good decision about who will be their next leader ”.
Pompeo, a former secretary of state and director of the CIA under Trump, made these comments while speaking Tuesday evening at the Navy SEAL Foundation Midwest Evening of Tribute.
It's no secret that Pompeo is considering running for president in 2024. In August, the former Republican Party deputy said he would run for the top national office "regardless of who chooses to join," including his former boss.
“We will make our decision based on whether we think this is the right place for us to serve,” Pompeo said at a Faith and Freedom barbecue in late August. "If I feel I have to become president, have something to offer the American people, I will run regardless of who decides to run and who decides not to run."
Pompeo did not make an official announcement about his candidacy. Trump and the other top Republican candidates have also not said whether they will run, although Trump has hinted that he will in several public speeches.
Meanwhile, in an interview with The Hill in July, Trump said it's not about whether or not he will run, but rather about when to make the announcement. This came weeks before the former president's FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago on August 8 and sentenced by Pompeo last month .
“I would say my big decision will be whether I go sooner or later,” he said. "Do you understand what this means?".
Trump also indicated that the announcement will take place close to the midterm elections of 2022. “Should I go sooner or later? This will be my big decision, ”he said.
