They acknowledge Donald Trump's dominance, but weary Republicans across New Hampshire — even inside the governor's office — are fighting to stop the former president from winning the first-in-the-nation primary.
Pence, perhaps more than anyone, has been dragged down by the powerful undertow of Trumpism that has reshaped the political landscape for much of the last decade.
Trump loyalists infamously chanted,"Hang Mike Pence" while storming the U.S. Capitol and his political standing within the Republican Party has never recovered. Former President Bill Clinton became the"comeback kid" after finishing second here in 1992. The state also helped resurrect Republican John McCain's struggling campaign in 2008.Pence is essentially trying to reinvent himself as he reintroduces himself to New Hampshire voters. He and his staff have embraced a new mantra:"He is well-known but not known well."
He called for a muscular foreign policy, a recommitment to social conservative values and a sharp reduction in federal spending. He did not mention his support for a federal abortion ban. Breaking from Trump, he also endorsed changes to Social Security for people under 40 to ensure the government-backed safety net program is financially stable.
Pence's national chairman, veteran Republican strategist Chip Saltsman, would say only,"We're getting there" when asked how close the campaign was to the donor threshold.
