Mike Pence pushed back on Donald Trump’s claim that he could have overturned the election when his vice president presided over the Electoral College count on Jan. 6, 2021.<\/p>\n

“This week, I heard President Trump say I had the right to overturn the election. President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said in a speech to the Federalist Society.<\/p>\n

CNN carried the speech, and MSNBC had portions of it. Fox News did not have live coverage, but reported on his comments moments later.<\/p>\n

Pence’s comments were a rare break from Trump, who has groused over his vice president. More than a year after the January 6th siege at the Capitol, new information continues to come to light that Trump and his allies embraced a strategy in which Pence would reject the results.<\/p>\n
