JUST IN: Former Vice President Mike Pence files to run for president, setting up a clash with Trump, his running mate of elections past
Pence is set to formally announce his candidacy on Wednesday ahead of a CNN presidential town hall that evening. The former vice president’s entrance into the race sets up an unpredictable battle between the former president who helped incite an insurrection in his bid to cling to power and his once-loyal vice president who played a role in stopping that effort to thwart democracy.
Trump publicly and privately sought to pressure Pence to reject key swing state results in the vice president’s ceremonial role leading Congress in counting electoral votes. On January 6, 2021, Trump was slow to stop his supporters from attacking the US Capitol while Pence was inside and some of the mob were chanting death threats against him.
