The discussion was “completely unrelated” to the final tweet, a person familiar with the matter said, although he would not mention whether the issue of January 6 ratification had arisen in Congress. The two men went their separate ways for the holiday.
On Wednesday evening, as he was heading to Florida for vacation, Trump retweeted a call from one of his supporters for refusing to ratify the results of the Electoral College Ledger on January 6 – a possibility that may have left his imagination completely unfulfilled. Impossible.
Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giulia, was on board Air Force One with Trump before the tweet was sent by the president. Giuli will join Trump for the holidays at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where his election efforts will be discussed by men.
Trump has recently told people that Pence is not doing enough to fight for him as his presidency is coming to an end, and has recently taken an interest in Pence’s traditional role during the certification. As Senate President, Pence presides over the proceedings.
Sources say Trump has raised the issue with the vice president in recent days and there is “confusion” over whether Pence will be able to overturn the January 6 election results.
Pence and White House colleagues have tried to persuade him that his role is more of a formality and that he cannot unilaterally reject the votes of the electorate.
Traditionally, the vice president presides over the election voting certificate, although it is not required. In 1969, then-Vice President Hubert Humphrey lost the presidential election to Richard Nixon, who did not run for president. Pro-Senate President Tempore presided over it.
A source close to Pence said Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley – the current presidential pro Tempore – is not a good option to stay there instead of Pence on January 6th.
On Tuesday, Pence spoke with a group of young money changers in Florida, but did not focus directly on his next role. Instead he told the crowd that as the White House continues to fight the election, they will “fight until every legal vote counts” and “every illegal vote will not be thrown out.”
“Stay in the fight for the integrity of the election. Stay in the fight to defend what we have done.”
Earlier this week, Pence joined a meeting between Trump and a large group of House Conservatives to discuss long-term efforts to overturn the election results in January.
Participants in the debate said the debate focused on Trump’s baseless claims and conspiracies that the election was stolen from him, and legislators were confident there would be a piece of House and Senate Republicans who would join the effort and ask the marathon debate on the floor. January 6 which will burst on January 7.
The Republican, who is leading these efforts, Alabama Rep. Moe Brooks, said Pence was present in “different parts” of the meeting.
“I believe we have multiple senators, and the question is not how many, but how many,” Brooks said, something that would ignore the wishes of Senate Republican leaders who are eager to move forward and urge senators not to participate in doing so. doing. Force them to vote politically toxic against Trump.
Brooks told CNN on Monday night that he would try to challenge the election in at least six war-torn states, saying he needed to compile “as much as law૨” five-minute speeches that the G.O.P. MLAs will.
“It’s an important task,” he said.
This attempt is fortunate to fail but the Senate G.O.P. Leaders will make what they want to avoid grand. And if a member of the House and senator object to the results of the six states, it will lead to at least 12 hours of debate, plus time to vote on each motion, potentially prolonging the fight until the next day.
