Former Vice President Mike Pence is set to participate in a CNN town hall at 9 p.m. ET, the day after Donald Trump announced his entrance into the 2024 presidential race.
The event follows the release on Tuesday of Pence’s autobiography, “So Help Me God,” in which he detailed his fracture with Trump over the former president’s actions leading up to and on January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters attacked the US Capitol in an effort to overturn the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Pence has already fanned speculation that he might face off against his former ticket-mate for the Republican presidential nomination.
But he has split with the former president on whether Pence, in his role as vice president overseeing the counting of Electoral College votes on January 6, 2021, had any authority to attempt to overturn states’ outcomes. Pence wrote in his new memoir that Trump warned him days before the January 6 attack on the US Capitol that he would inspire the hatred of hundreds of thousands of people because he was “too honest” to attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
