Pence weighs 2024 presidential run amid rocky relationship with Trump

CNN published this video item, entitled “Pence weighs 2024 presidential run amid rocky relationship with Trump” – below is their description.

Mike Pence is adding staffers for his brand-new office in downtown Washington — inching closer to a possible White House run even as his standing worsens with former President Donald Trump and his base of supporters.

The former vice president’s ramp-up comes as Trump appears to be making good on his declaration to Pence that “I don’t want to be your friend anymore.” That quote, first reported this week, is attributed to Trump in a forthcoming book by journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.

The last conversation between the two Republican leaders was a phone call from Trump in April, Republican sources tell CNN, wishing Pence well as the former vice president recovered from heart surgery.

Pence isn’t waiting to make up with his former running mate — nor is he waiting for the former President to make up his own mind about his political future. People around Pence rejected the idea that he would hold off on his 2024 planning until Trump announces whether he’ll run.

“Mike is going to look at this and say, ‘Where am I being called to serve?’ ” said one person close to Pence. “That’s not going to be thwarted by any man or woman.”

“If he feels called to do this,” the adviser went on, “it’s not going to be because of who else is in the race.”
