And I think they\u2019re going to be very happy,\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/video.foxnews.com\/v\/6257632128001#sp=show-clips\">said after<\/a> his speech regarding a potential 2024 run.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also addressed whether, if he decides to run, former Vice President Mike Pence would be on the ticket again. The former president wouldn\u2019t commit to this and noted\u00a0he \u201cwas disappointed with Mike on one thing.\u201d Trump also declared it \u201ctoo early to be discussing running mates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell I don\u2019t know, it\u2019s really too soon to tell,\u201d the former president explained. \u201cBut certainly we had a very good relationship. I was disappointed with Mike on one thing as he understands and some other people understand, but overall, I had a very good relationship with Mike and he\u2019s a very fine person and a fine man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was disappointed on one account, but that was a choice that Mike made, and I want people to make their own decisions and he did,\u201d Trump added. \u201cAnd, you know Mike and I have a good relationship, we continue to have a good \u2014 but it\u2019s too early to be discussing running mates certainly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later on in the interview, Trump refused to say whether he thinks there\u2019s anything Biden has done \u201ca good job with\u201d since taking office. Instead, Trump reiterated many of his past complaints, criticizing the president over the border, the economy and more.<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he misses being president, Trump told Meredith he misses \u201chelping people\u201d before going back to condemning the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, nobody can be happy with what\u2019s happening in this country, with respect to leadership,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>During his speech, Trump had his daughter-in-law Lara Trump on the stage and she announced that she wouldn\u2019t be <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/12\/08\/lara-trump-north-carolina-senate-2022-poll\/\">running<\/a> to be a North Carolina senator.

The theory suggests that COVID-19 emerged after leaking from a lab in China. Biden recently asked intelligence agencies within the U.S. to \u201credouble their efforts\u201d in finding a cause for COVID-19 after a report left two viable options, one of which is the lab leak theory, on the table.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had this horrible thing come in from China,\u201d Trump said. \u201cAnd we got that one right too, by the way. Did you see what\u2019s going on over the last \u2014 with the lab? Wuhan. That was an easy one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hinting again at a 2024 run, Trump said this is \u201ca year that I very much look forward to\u201d during his speech Saturday night.
