Donald Trump won't commit to supporting Mike Pence if he runs for president in 2024
Trump said he would have to evaluate the future GOP field first, but he would give Pence "strong consideration"

"SNIP.....
President Donald Trump declined to endorse Vice President Mike Pence should he mount his own bid for the White House in 2024.
"You're talking about a long time. You can't put me in that position," Trump said Friday when asked in an interview with "Fox & Friends" if Pence would have his "automatic endorsement" if he followed in his boss' footsteps.
While Trump said he would have to evaluate the field of Republicans in five years, he added that Pence is a "very, very outstanding person" and that he would give his potential candidacy "strong consideration."
Pence, the former governor of Indiana, has not explicitly indicated he would launch a run for the Oval Office in 2024, although speculation has swirled about his future political ambitions. He has remained deferential in regard to Trump, serving as an obedient deputy who has remained quietly on the sidelines but always on message to a president who values loyalty above all else.

(17,173 posts)I wouldn't worry about a "commitment" though. Anyone who believes Comrade Fishylips' "commitments" is too stupid to be president anyway. And Pence is ALREADY too stupid to be president!

(41,959 posts)How many Democrats have said "Oh no! We don't want Pence as President!" True dat. But he's no longer useful in any way.
