Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence said it should be up to voters to decide former President Donald Trump's fate regarding his alleged involvement in trying to subvert the 2020 election results and not government prosecutors.
During a Newsmax town hall in Iowa on Tuesday night, Pence, who was vice president under Trump, told co-host Rob Schmitt that Jan. 6, 2021, when he presided over Congress' certification of the Electoral College at the Capitol Building was breached by protesters, was a "tragic day."
"I trust the people of Iowa, the people of New Hampshire, the people of this country to sort out the qualifications and the merits of all of us as candidates." Pence said he has not talked to Trump in a while — the two have been at odds over Pence's role on Jan. 6, with Pence claiming Trump asked him to overturn the will of the voters. Trump maintains he only wanted Pence to delay the certification so states could investigate his claims of voter fraud.
