Pence’s son reportedly convinced him to stand up to Trump over January 6 | Mike Pence
Mike Pence initially considered skipping the congressional certification process for Joe Biden’s 2020 election win to avoid hurting his “friend” Donald Trump but was convinced to perform his duty by his son, a US marine. Ultimately, Pence did supervise the certification process, despite it being delayed by the January 6 attack on Congress. Sources cited by ABC News during a special counsel investigation into Trump’s election subversion provided details not included in Pence’s memoir, revealing that Pence was initially reluctant to preside over the certification due to his loyalty to Trump. Trump now faces multiple federal criminal counts relating to election subversion, retention of classified information, and hush-money payments. Despite these charges, Trump remains a frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination.
