Rep. Greg Pence voices support for his brother Mike Pence
The former vice president has been the subject of harsh criticism from some Trump allies after his public rebuke of the former president over his false election claims, which have become a litmus test of party loyalty.
Speaking at the Federalist Society Florida Chapters conference near Orlando last week, the former vice president delivered his strongest rebuke 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. “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 condemnation of Trump followed a series of ongoing attempts from Trump to blame the failed efforts to overturn the 2020 election on his former second in command. Trump has suggested that a recent bipartisan push to revise the process of counting electoral votes by Congress was proof that Pence had the power to change the results.
Pence has repeatedly defended his role in certifying the election results and in June, he acknowledged that he and Trump remain divided on the events surrounding the riot at the US Capitol.
