Former President Donald Trump warned the National Rifle Association that it “better” endorse him for president in 2024 moments after ex-Vice President Mike Pence was mercilessly booed by supporters of the gun rights group.
Trump, 76, told attendees at the NRA’s annual convention in Indianapolis Friday that when the organization endorsed his 2016 presidential campaign it was “a great honor” – comparing it to “getting into the Wharton School of Finance or getting into Harvard” – and that he expects the group to once again back him in 2024.
“That was a great thing and they endorsed me very early and it was a great honor,” Trump said of the stamp of approval the NRA gave his campaign in May of 2016, after he became the presumptive GOP nominee.
