Former Vice President Pence Defends Role in Certifying Election Result on January 6

Former Vice President Mike Pence speaks about the events on January 6, referring to it as a "dark day in the history of the United States Capitol." He goes on to say, "there are those in our party who believe that, in my position as presiding officer over the joint session, that I possess the authority to reject or overturn electoral votes certified by the states. But the Constitution provides the vice president with no such authority," further saying, "the presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone." close
