Pence says ‘Trump is wrong’ to say then-vice president had the right to overturn 2020 election


Speaking at the Federalist Society Florida Chapters conference near Orlando, Pence delivered his strongest response yet to Trump’s ongoing efforts to relitigate the 2020 presidential election, calling it “un-American” to suggest one person could have decided the outcome. Pence warned against conservatives who continue to insist the vice president can alter an election, and said it could be a problematic position for Republicans in the next presidential contest.”Under the Constitution, I had no right to change the outcome of our election, and (Vice President) Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024,” Pence said. Pence’s remarks come after Trump asserted on Sunday that his then-vice president “did have the right to change the outcome” and “could have overturned the election.”This story is breaking and will be updated.
