Jun. 23, 2019 1:44 PM EDT Trump: 'Surprise' question about Pence led him to hesitate By DARLENE SUPERVILLE Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he hesitated to back a possible 2024 presidential run by Vice President Mike Pence because he was caught off-guard by the question. Given a chance at a do-over, however, Trump still did not endorse his loyal lieutenant. "You can't put me in that position," Trump said June 14 when a host of Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" asked him about endorsing Pence should the vice president seek to succeed Trump in 2024. Pence hasn't explicitly said he'll run in 2024, but is widely expected to. Offered a chance to explain, Trump told NBC News he hesitated "because it was a surprise question." "I'm not even thinking of it. It's so far out. I mean, It's so far out," Trump told "Meet the Press" in a wide-ranging interview taped Friday and broadcast Sunday. "Now what happens in 2024? I don't know that Mike is going to run. I don't know who's running or anything else."

2. I suspect the nutjob believes he will run and win in 2024, if he doesn't drop dead before.
