Move sets up unprecedented contest between a former vice-president and a former president
Mr Pence is expected to launch his campaign formally for the White House at an event in Iowa on Wednesday, when he will also take part in a town hall with potential voters, to be broadcast by CNN.
Some observers see Iowa and its evangelical Christian voters as a critical path if Mr Pence is to win the nomination. It was this decision not to send results back to some state legislatures, which were controlled by Republicans, that led to supporters of Mr Trump chanting that Mr Pence should be hanged, when they broke into the Capitol building on January 6th, 2021.
At present polls suggest Mr Trump is far and away ahead of all other Republican candidates. Florida governor Ron DeSantis is in second place, although between 20 and 30 points behind Mr Trump.The field of candidates in the Republican contest is expected to get bigger in the coming days.
