Trump talking to allies about 2024 run without Pence: report
By Lexi Lonas - 03/03/21 03:33 PM EST Former President Donald Trump is considering running for the presidency again in 2024 without former Vice President Mike Pence as his running mate, according to a report from Bloomberg.
Anonymous sources told the news outlet that Trump is considering choosing a woman or a person of color to be his running mate and dropping Pence.
The report comes following the former president's tumultuous last few weeks in office, during which Trump publicly pressured Pence to overturn the 2020 election results during the congressional certification process.
Pence did not have the authority to overturn the election results, as his roll presiding over the Senate during this process is largely ceremonial.
The tensions between Trump and Pence came to a fever pitch during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6, when rioters breached the building's security and chanted about apprehending and hanging the former vice president.
Before the breach, Trump gave a speech on the National Mall during which he encouraged his supporters to march to the Capitol and demand that Congress halt the certification.
According to Bloomberg, the sources said that Trump is looking at people who stood by him through the end of his presidency after the Capitol riots.
