In a recent exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, former Vice President Mike Pence addressed concerns about his campaign's fundraising performance. Despite reports highlighting lower fundraising numbers compared to some rivals, Pence expressed confidence in securing the necessary resources to compete effectively in the 2024 Republican presidential race.
During a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Pence emphasized his optimism, stating, "I'm confident we'll have the resources to take our case not only here in New Hampshire, but in Iowa and every state all across this country." He highlighted a combined $4 million raised between his campaign committee and supporting super PAC, Committed to America, in just three weeks. Pence acknowledged the significant sum, especially for "a small town guy from southern Indiana," and noted continued growth in support.
While Pence's fundraising trails behind frontrunners like Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, he remains undeterred. His campaign has focused on grassroots efforts, prioritizing direct engagement with voters over extensive online fundraising tactics employed by some competitors. Pence emphasized the importance of "meeting people" during his New Hampshire tour, attending town hall meetings and backyard parties.
The former vice president also expressed confidence in meeting the Republican National Committee's (RNC) criteria for the first presidential debate, scheduled for August 23 in Milwaukee. The RNC requires candidates to have 40,000 individual donors, with at least 200 donors from 20 different states or territories. Pence affirmed his team's dedication to achieving this goal.
During his New Hampshire visit, Pence maintained his approachable style, making a stop at a Dunkin', a beloved New England institution. He highlighted his affinity for the brand, adding a touch of local flavor to his campaign trail.
