“There are some Trump supporters who think he’s the anti-Christ,” said one Iowa GOP official. ...
Harre said Pence “did a good job as vice president,” and he called the vitriol directed at him “kind of nutty.” Still, he said, “I don’t see him overcoming the negatives.”
Six months after he left the vice presidency, that is the prevailing view at the grassroots and among the GOP political class. By most accounts, both here and nationally, Pence is dead in the early waters of 2024.

FWIW, I already see "Trump 2024" flags flying at various places.
(Going by memory about an article I read a while back.) At CPAC 2021, Trump won the straw poll with 71% of the votes, DeSantis got something like 24%. No one else, not even Pence, cracked 1%.
