Does anyone really think they would tell us if he was? There is way too much at stake.
If both trump and pence are taken out, there is no question Pelosi would assume the office of President. pence is first in line, Pelosi is second in line for the Presidency. So no way would McConnell allow that to happen.
If it is just pence who takes over for trump, when he is unable to execute his duties as President, I think he can nominate a person to be his VP, who would be able to break a tie in the Senate, since pence would actually be president. But it depends on just how compromised trump is and if he would ever be able re-assume the office, I think.
