Former Presidents Donald Trump and Mike Pence engaged in a lengthy conversation at Jimmy Carter's state funeral service, marking their first public interaction since the January 6th Capitol riot.
The handshake between Donald Trump and Mike Pence at Jimmy Carter 's state funeral service on Wednesday was one of many notable interactions between the living current and former presidents and vice presidents gathered at the Washington National Cathedral. Trump and Pence, who last met in January 2021, were captured on camera having a long, animated conversation.
The event took place almost four years to the day when Trump supporters called for Pence’s execution for not stopping the certification of the 2020 election results. Joe Biden and Barack Obama were positioned in a pew in front of their predecessors, with first lady Jill Biden and Kamala Harris next to each other. Laura Bush passed Trump as she entered the cathedral. Trump and Obama were assigned seats on the same pew, but on the opposite end and entered from the other side, avoiding an awkward interaction between the bitter political opponents
