The right wing Washington Examiner reports:
Former President Donald Trump is effectively ruling out tapping former Vice President Mike Pence as his running mate should he mount a third White House bid in 2024 and win the Republican nomination.
“I don’t think the people would accept it,” Trump told the Washington Examiner Tuesday evening during a wide-ranging telephone interview from Mar-a-Lago, his private social club and political headquarters in Palm Beach, Florida.
“Mike and I had a great relationship except for the very important factor that took place at the end. We had a very good relationship,” Trump said. “I haven’t spoken to him in a long time.”
Read the full article. Pence, of course, has committed the mortal sins of refuting the Big Lie and agreeing that he had no power to overturn the election.
NEW: TRUMP tells me he has effectively ruled out tapping @Mike_Pence as his running mate should he mount a third White House bid in 2024 & win the GOP nomination. https://t.co/Dfp2PIFQzd @dcexaminer
