US President Donald Trump wasn’t beautiful until the day the next president was decided. Even at the moment when the protesters violated the National Assembly Building, which is the Hall of People’s Justice, they were captured by the dogma of ‘subject to the presidential election’ and took the responsibility of the head of state. Then, for four years, Vice President Mike Pence, who was among the benefactors and fulfilled his job as a second leader, took the lead as a relief pitcher. There is even a premature evaluation of “the start of the presidential election in 2024” over the move of Pence, who broke up with Trump.
On the 6th (local time), the US media pointed out Vice President Pence at the same time as the number one contributor to the Trump supporters’ intrusion in Congress. The Associated Press reported that “the protagonist who discussed the issue of mobilization of state defense forces with acting defense minister was the vice president.” CNN also said, “President Trump opposed the introduction of the National Guard, but Vice President Pence played a key role in consultations with the Ministry of Defense. “I urged rapid mobilization of troops.”
Pence drew a line with Trump earlier this day. Prior to the outbreak of violence, before the start of the Senate-Household joint meeting to confirm the election of the next president, he sent a letter to the lawmakers and declared, “I have no authority to abolish the electoral vote.” He rejected the president’s persistent persuasion, saying, “Do not admit the results of the presidential election.” When the meeting, which had been interrupted by protesters invading the parliament, resumed, Vice President Pence stepped up again and said, “The ones who destroyed the parliament today have not won. Violence never wins,” he said, “let’s start working again.”
His successive resoluteness received favorable comments that he saw the vice president again. Washington City Attorney General Carl Raysin said in an interview with CNN that day, “Whether you like Vice President Pence or hate it, it is true that Vice President is more suitable for public office than President Trump.” “We have a commander-in-chief who can fulfill his constitutional responsibilities. I need it.” It means that Pence is much better with a sense of president.
President Trump appears to have been shocked by a long-time loyalty’s declaration of breakup. In an article posted on Twitter that day, Trump accused him of not having the courage to do what he had to do to defend our country and our constitution. A running mate who had been loyal for four years for not agreeing with the allegations of election fraud was ruthlessly thrown out.
