Anonymous sources told the news agency that Trump is considering choosing a black woman or person to be his running mate and abandon Pence.
The report comes after the past tumultuous weeks of the former president in office, during which Trump publicly pressured Pence to overturn the results of the 2020 elections during the Congressional certification process.
Pence had no authority to overturn the election results, since his role as president of the Senate during this process is largely ceremonial.
Tensions between Trump and Pence peaked during the Capitol rebellion on January 6, when protesters breached the building’s security and shouted about apprehending and hanging the former vice president.
Before the breach, Trump delivered a speech about Ellipse during which he encouraged his supporters to march to the Capitol and demand that Congress stop certification.
According to Bloomberg, the sources said Trump is looking at the people who supported him until the end of his presidency after the Capitol riots.
Trump adviser Jason Miller responded to Bloomberg’s report in a tweet calling it “fake news”, saying “noo these conversations are going on. “

Others told Bloomberg that Trump will not announce whether he is running until the summer of 2023.
The former president recently told Newsmax’s Mark Halpern that he didn’t think any other Republican could beat him in a primary if he decided to run again in 2024.
“I did a good job for this party,” said Trump. “We had the biggest economy in history and then rebuilt it a second time and the foundations were so strong that no other country can compete with us.”
“I think, based on job performance, I’m not sure if anyone should be able to win besides us,” added the former president.
The news comes at a time when the Republican Party is going through a split, with some lawmakers and leaders wanting to continue on a pro-Trump platform, and others wanting to get rid of the former president.
