Former President Donald Trump is telling allies he’s seriously considering a run for president in 2024, but may do so without former Vice President Mike Pence on hist ticket, according to Bloomberg, citing ‘people familiar with the discussions.’
On Sunday, Trump all but announced at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that he was running again – while privately, according to two of Bloomberg‘s anonymous sources, he’s discussed “alternatives to Pence as he takes stock of who he believes stood with him at the end of his term and who didn’t.”
Trump’s advisers have discussed identifying a Black or female running mate for his next run, and three of the people familiar with the matter said Pence likely won’t be on the ticket.
That said, given Trump’s history of choosing the ‘best person for the job’ regardless of color or sex, and notwithstanding obvious establishment picks, we imagine that last bit may be a non-starter for Trump.
According to the report, Trump is considering South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem – who Trump Jr. and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle are hosting a Friday fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. Meanwhile, Trump publicly endorsed South Carolina Senator Tim Scott’s re-election. Scott is the only black Republican in the Senate.
Following the 2020 election, Trump was livid after Pence didn’t “do the right thing” and reject Electoral College votes for Joe Biden from several contested states. In response, Trump tweeted that Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our Constitution.”
Pence rejected his boss’s appeals to unilaterally overturn Trump’s re-election defeat when he presided over the congressional count of Electoral College votes on Jan. 6. The event turned into an insurrection by Trump’s supporters, who invaded the Capitol, disrupted the count and forced the vice president and members of Congress to flee. Five people died in the melee. The two men didn’t speak for days afterward. Pence hasn’t said whether he’d be interested in running with Trump again, according to person familiar with the situation, who believes it’s doubtful Pence would. -Bloomberg
“President Trump hasn’t made any decisions regarding a potential 2024 run, but the buried lede here is that the media can’t stop talking about him,” said Trump adviser Jason Miller. According to the report “there’s been no serious consideration of future vice presidential candidates yet,” and if Trump runs, he won’t likely make a formal announcement until summer 2023, according to the anonymous sources.
During CPAC, Trump joked that he ‘May even decide to beat the Democrats a third time,’ alluding to his belief that the election was stolen.
As Bloomberg notes, Trump’s potential run may effectively freeze the 2024 GOP presidential field, as many potential candidates are likely to remain on the sidelines until they know if Trump will run again.
Trump is building a political structure that would serve as a campaign foundation should he decide to run again, including an existing political action committee, Save America, that accepts donations up to $5,000 per individual. A new super PAC, which would accept unlimited donations, is also planned. Pence was invited to speak at CPAC but informed organizers weeks ahead of the event that he and his family had decided to keep a low profile in the first half of the year. He has said he’s opening a transition office and plans to move back to Indiana this summer. -Bloomberg
Pence, meanwhile, is considered a “top-tier potential candidate in 2024” according to the report, which cites a Harvard-Harris poll conducted Feb. 23-25 which found that 42% of Republican voters prefer Trump for their 2024 nominee, while 18% want pence, who placed in second. If Trump isn’t a factor, support for Pence rose to 36% of GOP voters, followed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz at 13%.
What will Trump’s 2024 campaign slogan be?

The best three in play are DeSantis, Hawley and Cotton……the rest need not show up. Pence is a nice guy but his mission is over. Retire to “Back home in Indiana”….
Pence was a swamp pick and was never a part of the MAGA agenda. He was picked because he was a bland do nothing but obey ‘christian’ to capture the evangelical vote. Nothing more, and not a friend. He’s a career political, and cannot be trusted, period.
Trump? Voting? Please. Enough with this inane fluffy/puff piece. Any one who pays the remotest bit of attention to voting is beyond naive. There are no elections. There are selections and dog and pony shows to distract the mindless from reality.
Pondering or wondering about who is going to run is a waste of time and if the last ‘election’ didn’t reveal that then you weren’t paying attention. Henceforth its whoever TPTB chose and the rest is illusion.
I have no objections to “us” becoming TPTB. Like we’re Glenda and the establishment is the Wicked Witch.
Notice he didn’t mention that he was sucker-punched by the ‘vote’. There is nothing more stupid than a national voter.
Hawley and DeSantis are killers. Cotton wimps out when it’s trigger time. I like him, but right where he is.
Cotton is a no go. His actions, as always speaks louder than words. And that ain’t so good.
His impulses are neocon-ish.
He has been full throated neocon for years. No -ish about it. Bought and paid for Israeli agent.
Cotton? Get fucking real. Two faced POS.
Neocon ghouls like Cotton are not going to have any authentic popular support.
I stopped reading at, “according to Bloomberg, citing ‘people familiar with the discussions.”
Name your sources or GTFO.
He may have learned to get the general pulse of the country, but he does not really understand the common American.
Trump would have to be crazy to have Quisling Pence as a running mate. He shouldn’t have ANYTHING to do with the traitor.
Realistically however it doesn’t matter if Trump runs or who he runs with. He will have ZERO chance at winning. Te left successfully stole the2020 election from him…and now that they control ALL of the Federal Government they WILL continue manipulating and corrupting the electoral process to insure they NEVER lose an Electoral contest that matters ever again. TINVOWOOT. Want to regain your freedom. Start hunting…..and the prey to hunt are ALL Demonrats and MOST GOP…ho are RINOs…..and ALL the talking head media whore accomplices.
def.; “pence “— a British currency worth slightly more than one U.S. penny.
Mike Pence —- see above.
Mathematically much less worth than Two-Bit
I suppose Pence mighta brought a few claimed evangelical Christians to the voting booth, but otherwise, Pence was the ultimate NPC.
Oh this is rich….STFU you POS Pence:
Mike Pence Discovers the Need for Election Integrity, Jumps into MAGA Ship Before it leaves DeceptiCon Dock
Eff her with extreme prejudice. ;0
Trump proved in his four years that he couldn’t get anything done that required Congress. It was obvious from before he was sworn in that all of DC was against him. He let that stupid daughter of his hang around the White House with her husband stopping most good ideas from going forward. He kept hiring people who hated him and threw sand in the gears, and – worst of all – he kept signing “continuing resolutions” with only worthless promises from Ryan and McConnell that they would give him his wall “next time”. He wasn’t sneaky enough to counter the forces he was up against. His Twitter account was the opposite of “speak softly and carry a big stick”. It was full of bombast, pissing off half of the country while not actually doing anything. It’s hard to even remember how many fucking horrible America-hating people he had working in his administration, there were so many. Gary Cohn? John Bolton? John Kelly? Trump rode to the presidency by giving people what they wanted: a promise to end illegal immigration, a promise to avoid foreign wars (he gets a B+ or A- on that) and getting out if sovereignty-surrendering world-government schemes. If we survive to 2024, let somebody else pick up those issues and run. DeSantis seems best, but he better comprehend the depth of non-interventionist sentiment.
Paul Ryan and Mitch’s GOProgressive Party had nothing to do with it, right?
” but may do so without former Vice President Mike Pence on hist ticket”
He may? Fucker ain’t learned shit has he?
Trump has held the highest office in the U. S.
Trumps should now try for the highest Office in the WORLD.
Trump should focus his efforts to be the next Pope.
After being Pope for a few years, the only office higher is God.
Trump has the ego.
President of the US IS the highest office in the world. There just happen to be people who are far more POWERFUL, even if they hold lower offices in an official capacity.
He seems to have a weakness in his Portfolio.
His past (lack of) relationships with underage boys,
might put him out of the running.
Who gives a flying fuck about any of this? Whoever is elected is chosen by election machines that will always give them the candidate they want. If you go in there and “vote”, you are just as guilty as they are.
Those polls are bullshit. NO ONE wants Mike Pence.
I doubt that his wife even wants him.
Yeah she does, shes the driving force behind NPC Pence.
So, she loves him for what he might get someday, maybe. Something like power, I guess.
I dunno why he would bother. After his abject failure to actually STOP the steal, come 2024, he’ll probably lose by 52 states.
Obama said 57 states. FIFY
Haha was actually going to say that but every time somebody quotes Obama, I throw up a little.
Aw, damn it . . . on the keyboard again.
Mike Pence had the chance to stand up and go down in history as a man with some balls. Instead he fucking deserted President Trump. Fuck him.
Which part of “You are fired!” did he not understand?
Pence was basically Trump’s GHW Bush. The republican establishment members of the globalist uni-party did not like Reagan because he actually believed in, and wanted good things for, America. So they pushed a tried and true establishment hardcore uni-party globalist VP on him. If Trump does run again, and I’m not sure he should, the last thing he needs is another one of them. Should an America First person get elected, they need to do what Trump, in hindsight, should have done. Fire the heads of the bureaucracy and bring in America First people from the outside.
Trump will be too old in 2024. I could see him running a news outfit and putting his weight behind someone younger and sharper. But after four years of Biden, I’m not sure how the communists run their elections. Wouldnt our one party Gov. just pick who they think should be President?
Four years of biden!?!? Thats a little optimistic I think
Biden will be lucky to make it to 4 months in office. His benefactors have plans for him, I’d bet.
Pence would be one of the primary reasons i couldn’t jump on the Trump bandwagon, Trump is just figuring out he was a useless republican shill ? wtf ? and Trump is worthy ? or is he an idiot ? or part of the problem ? Truthfully a military coup is the only way out now bois, buckle up.
Trump was promoted to people who wouldn’t vote anymore as being worthy because “he’s not a politician”. Well, he is now.
With the elections four years away, discussion of who may or may not be the vice president running mate of a hypothetical Trump candidacy is more than a little premature. Trump is almost certainly considering all sorts of potential running mates at this time, and it may be that final decision comes down to someone who is not even on the radar yet. It must have been a slow day at Bloomberg to publish such an article, which belongs with the horoscopes.
Not only premature but when are we going to get conclusive evidence that the 2020 election was fair or not? We still have a majority of Americans that need some resolution.
So he’s going to drop the pedophile? That’s unusual. President Trump normally selects the absolute worst person for any job.
