That is one of the good outcomes that we could have had by Pence doing his duty.
Another would be to put a taint on the legitimacy of the Biden administration, and thereby keep people talking about his corruption and the rigged election that put him there.
Having the public view Biden as illegitimate would have improved the political dynamics of holding everyone accountable that put him there.
The world would have been a better place if the entire public viewed Biden as illegitimate.
Pence lent him a veneer of legitimacy.
Pence must be privately heartbroken that he did not take a stand on Jan. 6; it ruined him politically.
