Pence says James Madison and the Bible helped him certify election results against Trump’s wishes
When asked Monday night about who made him “buck” President Donald Trump’s wishes for him to not certify the results of the 2020 presidential election, former vice president Mike Pence told a group of young conservatives that he looked to the teachings of James Madison and the Bible to help defy Trump hours after the deadly pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Speaking at a Young America’s Foundation event at the University of Iowa, Pence was asked by an audience member identified only as Jared about whether “someone in the White House convinced you that it would destroy your hopes of becoming president” if he followed Trump’s pressure to not certify the election results in Arizona and other states.
