Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has reiterated that his decision to embark on a 2024 White House run will not be affected by former President Trump’s official launch of his run.

The comment was made during an interview on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show on Nov. 15 just hours before Trump made an official announcement of his 2024 presidential bid.
