Mike Pence is registering at 5 percent in the national 2024 GOP primary polling average, but his ability to participate in the August debate was recently in doubt because he had not yet hit the requirement of garnering 40,000 unique donors. On Monday night, the Pence campaign announced the former vice president had hit that mark without relying on the gimmicks some other GOP campaigns have employed: “The Pence for President campaign reached the 40,000 donor mark in just nine (9) weeks, faster than Nikki Haley (21 weeks), Vivek Ramaswamy (21 weeks), and Tim Scott (13 weeks). The campaign also chose not to employ schemes, giveaways, or gimmicks used by other campaigns.”
