Campaign staff in context

Campaign staff plays an important role in the presidential primaries. The makeup of a candidate's staff can signal the strength of their support from influential party activists and whether they are aligning with a particular faction or group within the party. Eric Appleman of Democracy in Action describes candidates' efforts to hire staffers as a "race for talent, both nationally and in key early states." He adds, "The goal is to assemble a team of top talent that can work together effectively to mobilize resources, boost the candidate and his or her message, and ultimately secure the party's nomination."

Presidential candidates will typically have a national staff, which is overseen by a campaign manager and assisted by political consultants, senior advisors, professional polling firms, and key stakeholders such as interest group leaders and major financial supporters. They also build organizations in individual states that are overseen by state directors and staffed by party activists and political professionals well-versed in the particular politics of the area. Candidates often appoint elected officials and other important figures in their party's coalition as chairs of their national campaign and state-level campaigns.

Mike Pence (R) was the former vice president of the United States. He served alongside President Donald Trump (R) from 2017 to 2021. He officially filed to run for president on June 5, 2023. Pence withdrew from the race on October 28, 2023.

Pence highlighted the economy, abortion issues, and his religious background as central themes of his campaign. Pence said he would make the tax cuts passed during the Trump administration permanent, reduce fiscal spending, and support investment in domestic energy production and security at the U.S.-Mexico border. Pence also said he would appoint federal judges who would "stand for the sanctity of human life" and said he would "not relent until we restore the sanctity of Life to the center of American law in every state in the land!"

Before assuming office as vice president, Pence served as the governor of Indiana from 2013 to 2017, and as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 2001 to 2013.
