An Iowa voter raised concerns about former Vice President Mike Pence’s role in certifying Donald Trump’s defeat in the 2020 election. The voter, Luann Bertrand, questioned why Pence “changed history” and certified Joe Biden’s victory. Pence, while campaigning in Sioux City, defended his ceremonial role and explained that he followed the Constitution on January 6, 2021.
In response to Bertrand’s assertion that he could have prevented Biden from becoming president, Pence emphasized that it was not his place as vice president to personally elect or reject a candidate. He urged Bertrand to read the Constitution and understand that his duty was simply to open and count the votes.
Pence also clarified that no vice president in American history has ever claimed the authority that some believe he had on that day. He reiterated his disagreement with President Trump’s views on his authority, emphasizing that he had fulfilled his oath to the Constitution.
Bertrand, in a subsequent interview with CNN’s Kyung Lah, expressed her belief that Pence is a “good man” who is guided by his faith. However, she still maintains that his actions on January 6 had a significant impact on history. Despite this concern, she stated that she would consider supporting Pence in the 2024 election.
Overall, Pence’s response to the voter’s question highlighted his commitment to upholding the Constitution and clarified any misunderstandings about his role on January 6, 2021.
