Pence calls it ‘particularly admirable’ for VP Harris to preside over election certification following loss
Former Vice President Mike Pence praised Vice President Kamala Harris for overseeing the certification of the 2024 presidential election, which resulted in President-elect Donald Trump’s victory. Pence commended the peaceful transfer of power and the lack of controversy or objection during the certification process, stating that it demonstrates the hallmark of democracy.
In a post on X, Pence congratulated Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance on their win and emphasized the importance of order and civility in the certification process. He specifically highlighted Harris’s role in presiding over an election that she lost, calling it “particularly admirable.”
This certification marked a significant moment as it was the first time a sitting vice president who lost a presidential bid oversaw the certification of their own election loss since 2001 when Al Gore presided over George W. Bush’s win. Pence did not endorse Trump in the 2024 election, despite their previous partnership.
Additionally, Pence expressed his support for House Speaker Mike Johnson, congratulating him on his re-election to the speakership. He commended Johnson for his leadership and offered prayers for his success in leading the House.
