Former Vice President Mike Pence is responding to former President Donald Trump’s indictment in Georgia by saying the 2020 election results were not fraudulent and that he could not overturn them.
“Despite what the former president and his allies have said for now more than 2½ years and continue to insist to this very hour, the Georgia election was not stolen, and I had no right to overturn the election on January 6,” Mr. Pence told the National Conference of State Legislatures’ legislative summit in Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Mr. Pence also commended Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for refuting Mr. Trump’s claims and defending the integrity of Georgia’s results in 2020. “The 2020 election in Georgia was not stolen,” Mr. Kemp wrote Tuesday on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. “For nearly three years now, anyone with evidence of fraud has failed to come forward — under oath — and prove anything in a court of law. Our elections in Georgia are secure, accessible and fair and will continue to be as long as I am governor.”
