The Washington rumor mill is spinning again with theories that US President Donald Trump is considering replacing Vice President Mike Pence in his 2020 reelection bid, with a mounting consensus that Pence does not expand Trump’s base of support.
On Monday, Trump hosted a 2020 strategy meeting with some of his advisors. According to Gabriel Sherman in Vanity Fair, one of the topics discussed at the meeting was Pence’s viability in a 2020 race that is expected to draw candidates fiercely opposed to the current administration and whether Pence will add anything of real value to Trump’s ticket in that context.
