Trump Tells Advisors He Wants Pence On 2020 Ticket

CNBC reports:

President Donald Trump has been telling his closest political advisors in recent weeks that he wants Vice President Mike Pence to be with him on the ticket in 2020, CNBC has learned. The development comes amid media speculation that Trump could ditch Pence in favor of another running mate.

Trump has told confidants that he wants Pence to be his running mate in the next election, and the vice president has privately told him he’s ready to defend the administration against a likely onslaught of Democratic presidential candidates running to replace them, according to three people with direct knowledge of the matter.
