Former Vice President Mike Pence's national security adviser said he would back former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical 2024 Republican presidential matchup over his former boss, describing in an interview with the Washington Examiner a disappointing breach between the teams that played out Tuesday in dueling appearances in Washington.
Retired Gen. Keith Kellogg said that while he talks to Pence occasionally, his loyalties lie with Trump. Speculation over Pence’s presidential ambitions has swirled as the former vice president attempts to stake out a post-Trump political path. Pence spoke to a conference of young conservatives in downtown Washington on Tuesday morning, hours before Trump was set to deliver remarks of his own.
But despite Kellogg’s ties to Pence, the top security adviser said he was committed to backing the former president should he choose to enter the race.
“Sometimes, you have to pick the lane you're gonna run with,” Kellogg told the Washington Examiner in an interview Tuesday. “I’ve always been a Trump guy.”
Trump is weighing a possible announcement ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, stoking the prospect of a broad Republican field of presidential candidates facing off against one another in 2024.
