Former President Donald Trump tells Fox News that he’d consider it “very disloyal” if members of his former administration end up running against him in the upcoming race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
The former president, who repeatedly teases that he’ll launch another White House bid, may not be the only member of his former administration to run in 2024, as former Vice President Mike Pence, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley have all been making plenty of early moves ahead of potential or likely presidential campaigns.
“Many of them have said they would never run if I run, so we’ll see if that turns out to be true,” Trump answered after Fox News’ host Brian Kilmeade asked how he’d deal with facing former members of his administration.
“I think it would be very disloyal if they did, but that’s OK, too,” Trump added in his Friday appearance on Fox News Radio’s “Brian Kilmeade Show.”
While some potential contenders for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination have indicated they wouldn’t seek the White House if Trump runs again, many have said their decisions will not be based on Trump’s eventual decision.
Trump, in his interview, once again touted extremely early polls in the next presidential race that consistently indicate he’s currently overwhelming front-runner for the GOP nomination.
As for his timetable, Trump reiterated that “I’ll probably decide in the not too distant future.”
