It seems as though former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is not wasting any time generating speculation that he has ambitions to perhaps run for president. On Pompeo’s first day as a private citizen, he tweeted: “1,384 days,” which also happens to be the number of days until the next presidential election in November 2024.

Over the last week, Pompeo, a former congressman from Kansas, took to Twitter during his final week as secretary of state to gain more followers on his private Twitter account.

​“In 26 hours, you’ll only be able to follow me @mikepompeo. Serving as your Secretary of State has been a privilege and an honor. I’m immensely proud of the achievements we’ve had in the past four years,” Pompeo tweeted on January 19.

​Pompeo faced criticism on his last full day at the State Department this week after claiming that multiculturalism “is not who America is.”

“Wokeism, multiculturalism, all the -isms — they’re not who America is,” Pompeo wrote in a tweet. “They distort our glorious founding and what this country is all about. Our enemies stoke these divisions because they know they make us weaker.”
