The figure is notably small for someone who has held the position of vice president.

    Pence is a coward. He does nothing to set the record straight in public. His legacy is one of damage and destruction to the US. Anti-democratic religious weirdo. I hope his vision is never implemented.

    Just to put this in some context, former GOP vice president, and year 2000 presidential candidate that year, raise $2 million for his own year 2000 presidential run. Or to say another way, $400k more than Pence in 2023:

    “Through April, however, Quayle continued to poll in the single digits.[4][3] On April 8, Reuters reported that Quayle’s campaign had raised over $2 million, placing him behind Bush and McCain (who had raised approximately $7 million and $4 million, respectively), but ahead of candidate Gary Bauer, who had raised about $1.4 million.”

    source

    That $2m is not even inflation adjusted. Adjusted for 2023 inflation Quayle raised $3,543,658.54. For those that didn’t live through those times, Quayle was NOT a popular candidate.

    Hell, I even forgot he was VP while he was still in office.

    He pissed off far-righters by not being Trumpy enough, and everyone else just forgot he existed. This is not surprising.
