Trump Appears to Rule Out Pence as Running Mate in Potential 2024 Run – By Lisa Hagen (US News) / March 16, 2022
Their relationship deteriorated after Pence refused to try and overturn the 2020 election based on Trump’s erroneous voter fraud claims.
Former President Donald Trump suggested that former Vice President Mike Pence won’t serve as his running mate again if he ultimately decides to mount a third presidential campaign in 2024.
In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Trump shared some kind words for Pence. But overall, the former president expressed frustration over the 2020 election and his second-in-command’s unwillingness to overturn their defeat.
Trump hasn’t indicated whether he’ll run again, but he’s been testing the waters by holding more campaign rallies and fundraising through his political action committee. He’s still considered a GOP front-runner, but that hasn’t stopped other Republicans and allies interested in a bid from trying to break out of the crowded pack before he makes a decision.
