Pence and Trump’s relationship is ‘friendly’, says the source

The source does not provide more information about CNN to CNN or describe the contents of the calls. One call was started by each.

CNN previously reported that Trump would speak at a Conservative political action conference in Orlando, Florida, on Sunday, according to a source familiar with the matter, while Pence, according to two sources, turned down an invitation to speak at the conference. The expert source said Monday that the reason Pence is not going to the CPAC is because “it is tradition that the outgoing president and VP remain silent, and that the incoming president deserves it in court.”

The difference between the two former leaders comes as the GOP struggles with its future in the post-Trump era and follows tensions between Trump and Pence over the January 6 riots at the US Capitol and the role of the former vice president in certifying the results of President Joe Biden’s election.

The source also noted that the former vice president close to the Arizona government, Doug Ducey, is now head of the Republican Governors Association. By the summer, the source said, Pence would be more active in politics, probably in the governor cycle, and Kevin McCarthy, leader of the House of Minorities, said he would be active as well.

As for the former president’s CPAC appearance and beyond, the source said: “People do not want to risk (Trump)’s anger, but no one really knows how it will play out.”

The problem, according to the source, was that the former president would not have a strong political team around him. ‘Many people circle in and out, including those who will meet with him in Florida before the conference, such as Jason Miller, Bill Stepien, Justin Clark and Brad Parscale.

“They will want to keep rejecting the story that he is the kingmaker,” the source added.
