Former President Donald Trump revealed Monday he would consider ditching Mike Pence for Florida’s tough Gov. Ron DeSantis as his 2024 presidential election running mate.

“Sure I would … I would certainly consider Ron,” Trump, 74, told Fox Business‘ Stuart Varney in a phone interview Monday.

“I was at the beginning of Ron,” he said of the 42-year-old former Navy officer who graduated both Yale and Harvard Law School.

“I was the first one to endorse him when he came out as a congressman that a lot of people didn’t know, and my endorsement helped him tremendously,” Trump said.

“And I know him very well. He’s a great guy,” Trump added.

That would be quite a ticket.

I like it, but Trump will have to “move” out of Florida officially before then.

Trump/DeSantis 2024, has a nice ring to it.

Sounds wonderful, as long as Florida can find a worthy replacement.

I nominate Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County.

That is easy for a guy with a dozen homes all over the country

Why not put DeSantis at the top of the ticket and have PDJT manage the MAGA movement nationwide?

These days I kinda like Desantis as the front runner.

[Seaplaner]

I like the team.

That said, I think it's more likely that Trump won't run again but won't say this until the last minute.

Thus, he keeps the Dems off balance and keeps the RINOs from giving everything away.

Great choice but hate to lose him as governor for vp. Super glad to hear Trump is ditching Pence else he would never mention this.

glad to hear Trump is ditching Pence

I guess one too many knives in the back.

[Zathras]

I like Trump but here is what I am thinking.
Trump makes a better king maker and team organizer.

DeSantis has his own gigantic footprint, and could easily end up on the top of the ticket.

[Karl Spooner]

Let DeSantis pick your appointees, Mr Trump.

Why am I getting the vibe of Florida repeating Alabama when Trump pulled Sessions from the state?

I don’t think Trump would even win if he had Pence on the 2024 ticket. Too many people disgusted with Pence’s lack of backbone to do the right thing with regard to the election fraud.

Trump ain’t running. DeSantis just might.

He'd have better luck with Romney :)
