On Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence revealed that he will not decertify any of the Electoral College votes cast for presidential candidate Joe Biden.
“I do not believe that the Founders of our country intended to invest the Vice President with unilateral authority to decide which electoral votes should be counted during the Joint Session of Congress, and no Vice President in American history has ever asserted such an authority,” Pence said in a letter to Congress.
“Some believe that as Vice President, I should be able to accept or reject electoral votes unilaterally,” he wrote. “It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not.”
“When the Joint Session of Congress convenes today, I will do my duty to see to it that we open the certificates of the Electors of the several states, we hear objections raised by Senators and Representatives, and we count the votes of the Electoral College for President and Vice President in a manner consistent with our Constitution, laws, and history,” Pence concluded. “So Help Me God.”
President Donald Trump strongly urged Pence to act to stop the certification. He said in a speech in front of the White House, “Mike Pence I hope you’re going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and the good of our country and if you’re not, I’m going to be very disappointed in you, I will tell you right now. I am not hearing good stories.”

Trump Attorney Blasts Raffensperger: ‘You Secretly Taped Confidential Call’
One of President Donald Trump’s lawyers blasted Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for “secretly” recording a “confidential settlement discussion” between the president and himself, and then leaking the audio.
Lawyer Kurt Hilbert was referring to leaked audio of Trump telling the Georgia official, “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.” However, only portions of the audio were being shared, rather than the full audio, so it appeared that Trump was trying to convince Raffensperger to be dishonest then that wasn’t the case at all.

Considering the exchange of power between presidents is quickly approaching, it’s strange that people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar are calling for impeachment. UNLESS, they know that Trump actually won the election and that there will not be an exchange of power.
