Mike Pence never ran for president in 2024, since he's already dropped out.

Pence ends White House campaign after struggling to gain traction. 'This is not my time,' he says

Mike Pence is dropping his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, ending his campaign for the White House.

@rockenots Good point! I resolved this market when I did because I meant the 2024 election cycle rather than the year 2024, but I acknowledge that I should have worded it more along those lines.

How are you defining “running?” Announcement? Statement of candidacy? Holds a rally?

@KevinBurke An announcement would be ideal, a statement of candidacy would suffice, he doesn’t have to hold a rally.

"Former Vice President Mike Pence is expected to soon declare a long-shot 2024 run for the White House, pitching himself as a “classical conservative” who would return the Republican Party to its pre-Trump roots, according to people close to Pence."

Aides to former Vice President Mike Pence found a small number of documents with classified markings at his home in Indiana during a search last week, according to an adviser to Mr. Pence.
...
Mr. Jacob, who was Mr. Pence’s general counsel while he was vice president, stressed cooperation in the letter to the National Archives.

Sounds like it will be handled more like Biden's classified documents than Trump's, since Pence is intending to cooperate with the National Archives.

From Reuters:
Dec 26 - Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has not filed to run for president in 2024, his adviser Devin O'Malley said on Twitter following a report on Monday by Britain's Sky News that Pence had filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission.

@rockenots You seem very convinced by this statement, and not by his actual filing. Is that a common thing? Do politicians sometimes file and then not run?

@rockenots Just read that the spokesperson says it was a different person who filed, which makes more sense

He’s filed to run, is that sufficient?

@Gabrielle Oh wow! Not quite, he has to announce a run, but that looks super likely now

@Gabrielle And it's a good thing I included that requirement, because it doesn't look like it was actually Pence that filed.
