The Vice President Turns His Back On Trump In The Eleventh Hour


President Trump is putting pressure on Vice President Mike Pence to step up before Congress convenes to certify President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.

Even though Pence, as vice president, will preside over the joint session his role is mostly a ceremonial one.

But Trump sees this as a way to possibly reverse his presidential election defeat and is insisting that Pence has the power to overturn the election results.

The president declared in a tweet Tuesday morning, “The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors.”

Just before that, Trump told a crowd of supporters at an election-eve rally in Georgia, “I hope Mike Pence comes through for us, I have to tell you.”

“I hope that our great vice president – our great vice president,” Trump emphasized, “comes through for us. He’s a great guy. Of course, if he doesn’t come through, I won’t like him as much.”

Despite all the heat Pence is taking from the president he says he intends to “follow the law” on Wednesday.

According to White House officials the vice president “is taking a very diligent and studious approach to his job tomorrow. He has consulted at length with staff. He has gone through the Electoral Count Act several times. He has read legal opinions, met with the Senate parliamentarian, and consulted with outside experts on the subject matter.”

Those officials assured that “the vice president will follow the law. He will act tomorrow with fidelity to the law and the Constitution.”
