President Trump claimed in a statement on Tuesday night he and Vice President Mike Pence are in "total agreement" on the vice president's authority regarding the Electoral College count, after multiple news outlets reported Pence told Mr. Trump he lacks the power to alter the election results.
The New York Times and other news outlets reported Tuesday that Pence told Mr. Trump he doesn't believe he possesses the power to block Congress' certification of President-elect Joe Biden's win. On Tuesday night, Mr. Trump called that report "fake news."
Mr. Trump, in a statement issued by the Trump campaign, claimed he and Pence are on the same page. Pence has not issued such a statement independently.
"The New York Times report regarding comments Vice President Pence supposedly made to me today is fake news. He never said that. The Vice President and I are in total agreement that the Vice President has the power to act," Mr. Trump said in the statement. "Our Vice President has several options under the U.S. Constitution. He can decertify the results or send them back to the states for change and certification. He can also decertify the illegal and corrupt results and send them to the House of Representatives for the one vote for one state tabulation."

Trump claims he and Pence agree on VP's election authority https://t.co/fwTisRmAlb— CBS News (@CBSNews) January 6, 2021
I think tomorrow is a farewell speech. Then we will be entirely without a leader.
there will be no farewell speech.
I pray that you are right.
It’s easier to get forgiveness than it is to get permission. Pence should just proceed as if he has whatever authority he decides, and then let the rats prove he doesn’t. That’s the tactic that they used to get their fraudulent votes. Actually, it’s the tactic they seem to use on everything. Our turn.
I really doubt President Trump called Americans to DC for a concession speech.
Fake news, fake elections, fake EVERYTHING is abound.
Pence doesn’t count the votes in the six states and tells those state legislatures to, “fix it”. Pennsylvania is already working on it. The Prez needs 38 EVs. PA is 20, so he only needs 18... 2 of the other states NV is Donk so I don’t include them. Two of the following plus PA will be over the 38; AZ11, GA16, MI 16, WI 10
I pray that you are right.
There are a million Patriots there now. They are in harms way with BLM and ANTIFA terrorist there. President Trump better have something better than his typical rally speech and certainly not a farewell speech.
If nothing else I think the Civil War starts tomorrow.
NO, A serious secession movement should start ASAP.
I agree. There is no meeting of the minds anymore. They promote abortion and exploration of degenerate sex of every kind. They support lawless immigration, and endless war.
It's possible, but on a thread where Trump describes two good scenarios and then he says that Pence agrees with those scenarios, I am more optimistic.
I hope you right. I want to optimistic. President Trump had to deal with so much nonsense. The Treachery is so deep. I hope he doesn’t break.
NO, NO, NO...
Paul Romney, Mitt Ryan, Mitch Cornyn, Lindsay McConnell...
They won’t let the country be stolen by Chinese agents...
They are the tea cup saucer...to keep the congress from boiling over!!!!
It won’t be a farewell speech snowflake. So grab the towel you threw in. Trump wouldn’t literally invite America to DC for a rally if he was going to quit.
I’m here now. In a hotel waiting for sunrise to hoof it to the Ellipse. I’ve met hundreds of Patriots here. Most took time off from work. There are people here from all over America. Montana, Oregon, Texas. Nobody is in any mood to listen to this “farewell” gibberish. There’s no way in hell.
I’m here too albie ! MAGA
MAGA!!! I guess you’re sittin in a hotel like I am?
No, Trump will NOT give any kind of farewell speech until/if he is farewelled out.
Hell, if GA goes D tonight, then it’s not even worth it for Trump to stay in the white house. just let the dems destroy it all.
At this point the USA’s governing systems is in irreparable state of dysfunction, corruption etc....and unable to fix things anymore.
The ONLY way this gets resolved is for the system to burn down and start over again.
regardless, the only way Trump is still president on Jan 21, is if something VERY VERY VERY out of the ordinary goes down between now and then. Thats all I can say.
I will pray for you and the other Patriots. You will see violence.
I have no idea what to expect tomorrow. President Truml has been rather tight lipped.
I hope something happens. I cant lead this. I am not General Washington or Napoleon. But I pray a lead arises.
