Guys, the ambulatory termite buffet Mike Pence has squeaked in under the wire and qualified for the first GOP 2024 Goat Rodeo Debate (and unbelievably, that makes 8):
The former vice president’s political team said they reached out to inform the RNC that Pence had qualified and spotlighted that they were the first campaign to submit their numbers for the national party committee’s verification process.
[…] Pence’s campaign said they have 200 or more donors in 40 states, far higher than the 20-state threshold mandated by the RNC. They also highlighted that the former vice president – who launched his 2024 campaign in early June – reached the donor threshold in nine weeks, which was quicker than three of his rivals, Scott, Haley, and Ramaswamy.
And so how’d he do it? Be prepared for One Weird Trick!!1!
And Pence’s team emphasized that they met the donor threshold without any giveaways or gimmicks… The former vice president’s team also noted that they brought in less than half of their donors through digital outreach and said that events with the candidate and direct mail continue to be strengths for their campaign.
He found people who open junk mail.
