Former president Donald Trump said in a radio interview Friday that it would be “disloyal” for former vice president Mike Pence or other members of his Cabinet to run against him for the Republican nomination in 2024.
“Well, many of them have said they would never run if I run, so we’ll see if that turns out to be true,” Trump told Fox News Radio’s Brian Kilmeade. “I think it would be very disloyal if they did, but that’s okay, too.”
Pence made headlines earlier this week when asked if he would back a Trump bid for the White House in 2024.
“Well, there might be somebody else I’d prefer more,” Pence told an audience at Georgetown University on Wednesday night, alluding to his own ambitions.
Others who served in the Trump administration who have been mentioned as possible 2024 candidates include former secretary of state Mike Pompeo and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley.
Trump told Kilmeade he plans to announce a decision about his 2024 plans “in the not too distant future” — a timetable he has cited for some time now.
