Their confidence is so supreme that they view almost all of the emerging field not as competition but as possible vice presidential picks.
“The vice president is an incredible man and was a great vice president, but he has a huge obstacle — problem — in trying to be the nominee after dealing with what he’s dealt with over the last six months,” said another Trump adviser, pointing to his recent reception at conservative events. Asked specifically if there was a chance Pence could serve as Trump’s number two again, the adviser replied: “zero.
But while Pence may be on the outs as a possible Trump 2024 VP candidate because of his role in overseeing the certification of the election, others in the GOP tent say his actions that day could position him well as a presidential aspirant himself. Pence and his advisers still enjoy strong roots in conservative circles. One former Trump official argued that Pence would benefit from having already answered the inevitable question about Jan.
Few others in GOP politics are willing to say the party would be well served in moving on from Trump. Instead, other potential 2024ers and their aides have begun engaging in a shadow campaign of sorts, presenting themselves as Trump understudies — ready to step in if the former president decides to skip a third White House bid, or serve as a capable VP pick for him.
