"I love Nikki, she's endorsed me, she's my friend, she's a part of my campaign," Trump said Wednesday.
But Trump was quick to add that Pence has been a "great vice president, he's 100%."
"We won, we won together. We have tremendous evangelical support. We have tremendous support from every angle," Trump said of Pence. "You can't break up a team like that."
Trump's confidence in his vice president comes after he hesitated to endorse Pence should he mount a presidential bid in 2024.
"I mean, you know, I'm not even thinking of it," the President told NBC in an interview that aired Sunday. "It's so far out. I mean, It's so far out. That would be the only reason."
But he again did not endorse Pence as his successor.
Pence told CNN's Jake Taper on "State of the Union" Sunday that Trump's comments "reflect the fact that the only election he and I are focused on is 2020."
