On Monday, Mr Vance told a reporter: “Look, I think if I run, the President will endorse me… but I don’t know, man, I haven’t talked to him about it.”But he also suggested that he could run with Mr Trump’s support, saying: “I mean, again, I think I would get his endorsement. But I also think there’s something to be said for people actually running their own race.Mr Vance added: “Because the President’s endorsement is so dispositive, you could absolutely see a scenario where the President says, ‘you know what we need? Let this race play out and not pre-emptively prejudge the results.”In a separate interview with CBS, Mr Vance refused to commit to running.
