It was the first meeting between Trump and Pence since Wednesday’s violence on Capitol Hill, and the two had a “good conversation.” According to this official, Donald Trump has no intention of resigning before his term ends on January 20. For his part, the vice president of the United States does not intend to remove him from office by invoking the 25th amendment to the US Constitution, declaring him, with the support of his top ministers, incapable of fulfilling his position.
The president and vice president “reiterated that those who broke the law and invaded the Capitol are not the” America First “movement backed by 75 million Americans,” the official said.
“They are committed to continue their work for the country until the end of their term,” the source said.
Despite pressure from the White House leader, Mike Pence announced in a letter on Wednesday that he is not opposed to Congress validating the results of the presidential election, drawing the ire of the president and his supporters.
“Mike Pence did not have the courage to do what he should have done to protect our country and the Constitution,” Donald Trump wrote on Twitter as his supporters stormed the Capitol building.
Videos posted on social media show a tight crowd chanting “Hang Mike Pence” in front of the Capitol. Other activists who stormed the Congress building shouted that the vice president was a “coward,” according to the New York Times.
