Pence will not be present tomorrow so Grassley will replace Pence? .......reported by Bannon five min ago

He just reported that they’re walking this back. More to come.
NEW: Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Senate president pro tempore, says he and not Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the certification of Electoral College votes, since "we don't expect him to be there."

Jack Posobiec's take:A Grassley spokesman clarifies that the senator does not "have any indication Pence won't be present." Grassley, he said, was just trying to explain that at president pro tempore of the Senate, he would fill the chair if Pence does not show or steps out at points for a break https://t.co/iS8Wb7Yfpy

Grassley slipped up. Wasn’t supposed to say it yet. https://t.co/S2hK71W6YZ
