The Fox and Friends hosts lobbed a softball to President Donald Trump Friday morning, asking if he would automatically endorse Vice President Mike Pence if he were to run for President in 2024.
“You can’t put me in that position!” Trump protested. “I certainly would give it strong consideration,” he offered, calling Pence a “very, very outstanding person.”

This may make things a tad uncomfortable at their near-daily lunches.
His loyalty knows no bounds.
So, it’s all Trump, all the time at TPM this morning. Count me out.
2024 election? Pence? You’ve got to be kidding. It’ll be my 3rd term. King of the USA and maybe even the Prince of Whales!
If he bursts out “You can’t put me in that position!” then I’m going to discount the idea he imagines he’ll be presidentissimo for life or whatever. Seems like the usual; he always he just have to have it both ways on everything, even when that’s impossible and weaselly. If he says “Yeah, Pence” he can’t dangle the prospect of his backing to every ambitious GOP pol he wants something from.
Of course not, 2024 is the referendum for the coronation of Ivanka .
