Today, Congress returns to Washington for a lame-duck session while control of the House next year remains unresolved. While the GOP is still favored to win a narrow majority, counting in some key midterm races continues. Follow our live updates:
Former vice president Mike Pence said Donald Trump’s rhetoric during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was “reckless” and that the former president’s actions “endangered” members of the Pence family and those trapped inside the building that day.“I mean, the president’s words were reckless,” Pence said in a preview clip of his interview with ABC’s “World News Tonight” published Sunday. “It was clear he decided to be part of the problem.
Pence was referring to Trump’s tweet, posted while the insurrection was unfolding, on Pence’s refusal to reject the 2020 election results. The tweet said Pence “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done.” Days earlier, Trump and his allies had publicly urged Pence to overturn the election results for Trump, even though the vice president had no legal right to do so.“I turned to my daughter, who was standing nearby, and I said, ‘It doesn’t take courage to break the law.
Pence’s comments to ABC appear to be the strongest he has given on Trump and the Capitol riot since tensions between the two men escalated in the last days of the Trump administration.
