Wow!
I did not see that coming!
I’ve actually said here at WeLoveTrump for a few months now that I expect Mike Pence could very well be OUT as V.P. in 2020, that is true.
But I didn’t expect Judge Jeanine to come right out and ask him about it!
Hey MSM, if you’re taking notes, that’s called REAL journalism!
Asking the tough questions.Â
And then pressing him on it.
And I have to tell you folks, based on the body language I saw from Mike Pence in his answer, I think he’s a goner and I think he knows it!
His response was just weird!
Now I don’t think it will be Nikki Haley, but we will see!
Watch it for yourself here:
Newsweek also reported on the story:
Vice President Mike Pence dismissed rumors that President Donald Trump may replace him on the 2020 re-election ticket in an interview with Fox News host Jeanine Pirro on Saturday evening.
In her interview with Pence, Pirro cited recent remarks from former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt, who withdrew from the GOP in 2018 over his opposition to Trump. Schmidt said last month that there is an "overwhelming chance" that the president could replace Pence with former Ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
Pirro asked the vice president to respond to the rumor.
"You know, I couldn't be more proud to be vice president alongside President Donald Trump," Pence said. "And I'm honored that he's asked me to run with him again."
"You've spoke to him [Trump] about this?" Pirro asked.
"Oh, many times. And he's spoken about it publicly," the vice president, who formerly served as Indiana's governor, replied. "He said privately what he said publicly, and I'm humbled by that."
Pence went on to say that he was "not only confident" that he'd be on the 2020 ticket, but that he was also "confident that we're going to win in 2020." He explained that his main ambition in life had been to be the congressman representing his Indiana district, suggesting that he'd already far exceeded his goals by governing his state and then becoming vice president.
Rumors have circulated for more than a year that Trump could replace Pence as part of a reelection strategy in 2020. The main name touted as a potential replacement has been Haley, with analysts suggesting she would draw more women voters to support the president. When Trump and Haley announced together in October 2018 that she'd be stepping down from her role as the top U.S. diplomat to the U.N. at the end of the year, the speculation persisted.
However, Haley confirmed during that announcement that this was not the intention. Since then, the president and his former ambassador have consistently denied the rumors.
In November, Trump told Fox News morning show Fox & Friends that Pence was "a great vice president," shooting down the rumors. He also spoke highly of Haley, however, saying she would "absolutely" be involved in his 2020 campaign.
