Former President Donald Trump is suggesting his old running mate and primary competitor should endorse him.

During a campaign event on Sunday, Trump noted several of the 2024 Republican candidates who exited the field endorsed him.

However, he pointed out former Vice President Mike Pence did not.

ā€œI don’t know about Mike Pence, he should endorse me. He should endorse me, you know why? Because I had a great, successful presidency, and he was the vice president,ā€ Trump said.

He added, ā€œHe should endorse me. I chose him, made him vice president. But people in Politics can be very disloyal.ā€

Watch the video below:

On Saturday, Pence announced he was ending his campaign as he said at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual conference, ā€œAfter much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today.ā€

ā€œI’m leaving this campaign, but let me promise you, I will never leave the fight for conservative values and I will never stop fighting to elect principled Republican leaders to every office in the land. So help me God,ā€ he insisted.

RealClearPolitics’ average of polls showed Pence’s campaign failing to gain steam, with him sitting in fifth place at 3.5%.

However, an endorsement of the former president appears unlikely during the primary.

Pence has previously stated Trump should ā€œnever be President of the United Statesā€ again.
