– The president’s words were indefensible. It was clear that he chose to be part of the problem, says Pence in an interview with ABC News on Sunday. The backdrop is the storming of Congress on 6 January last year. The US elected representatives were then in the process of approving Joe Biden’s election victory, a victory Trump did not accept. Former President Donald Trump had asked Mike Pence not to endorse the election of Biden. He did not have the authority to do that, says Pence in the interview. But Pence also says he wouldn’t. Five people died during the storming of Congress, while Pence and other elected officials sought refuge. Dramatic images: Here they break a window and storm Congress Strong pressure from Trump The former vice president tells ABC that he got angry when he saw a Twitter message Trump had sent out while the riot outside Congress had started. Trump wrote that Pence “did not have enough courage to do what was needed”, according to NTB. The two had worked closely together for four years as president and vice president of the United States. Mike Pence says he turned to his daughter and said, “It doesn’t take courage to break the law. It takes courage to uphold the law,” according to ABC News. This is the first time Mike Pence has spoken to the press since the storming. Now he comes with the book “So help me, God.” Donald Trump still refuses to recognize the election results from 2020.

These are Republicans who support Trump’s false claim that Biden did not win the presidential election two years ago. But the Republicans did not win the expected majority in the Senate. It is seen as a loss for Donald Trump. Several of the former president’s favorites lost their elections. Now several Republicans are trying to distance themselves from Donald Trump, according to The New York Times. Tomorrow it is expected that Donald Trump will announce whether he will stand as a presidential candidate again in 2024. American democracy is disintegrating. Trust in both the politicians and the electoral system is at rock bottom, and much is at stake before the nerve-wracking by-elections in November. Join longtime correspondent Tove Bjørgaas and journalist Camilla Bergland to Arizona, where counting votes is dangerous, and politicians say they will not trust the election results if they lose.
