In interviews with US broadcasters CBS and CNN regarding the promotion of a new book, The former vice president of the Trump administration has called the ongoing investigation a partisan and claimed congressmen have “no right” to force him to testify🇧🇷
Those words mark a change of position from August, when Mike Pence admitted to testifying on request: According to Mike Pence, a former vice president’s testimony would set a “terrible precedent”.
The former vice president went on to portray January 6, 2021 when thousands of Donald Trump supporters stormed the Capitol as “the hardest day‘ of his public life.
The events of that date eventually undermined the relationship between Pence and Trump, who began venting public criticism. On the other hand, The former vice president appears as one of the potential candidates for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election🇧🇷
It is recalled that on Tuesday Donald Trump announced his third candidacy for the White House with a promise to “bring America back”.
Trump’s candidacy is far from enjoying widespread support among Republicans. For example, Jeb Bush Jr. disapproved of the former US President’s attack before the end of the speech, which he rated as “weak”.🇧🇷
Among Donald Trump’s conservative critics is Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, for whom the real estate tycoon has already been responsible for three Republican election defeats.
The GOP’s most extremist wings continue to close ranks with Trump. That’s the case with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene or Republican lawmakers Troy Nehls and Andy Biggs. “America’s comeback is beginning now,” Nehls said, sharing a passage from the former White House tenant’s speech.🇧🇷
A clear indicator of the candidacy’s weaknesses is the silence of the Republican leadership itself, which conjures up a different set of priorities for the party in the current situation.
