US politics live updates: Donald Trump targets Mike Pence as results from Georgia runoffs still arrive
Mike Pence defies Donald Trump’s push to overturn the election
As Donald Trump was speaking in Capitol Hill, his own Vice-President issued a statement confirming that he would count the votes of the electoral college today.
“It is my considered judgement that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,” Pence wrote in the statement.
It’s the first clear break with Donald Trump we’ve seen from the Vice-President on this push to overturn the election results. Just minutes before the statement was issued, the President asked multiple times for Pence to “do the right thing”. We’ll be watching to see how the Trump reacts.
