At a stop in New Hampshire on Thursday night, former Vice President Mike Pence defended his actions on January 6 and, in the process, may well have doomed (or at the very least hamstrung) his chances of emerging as the Republican presidential nominee in 2024.
"January 6 was a dark day in the history of the US Capitol," Pence said. "That same day we reconvened the Congress and did our duty. ... You know, President Trump and I have spoken many times since we left office and I don't know if we'll ever see eye to eye on that day." Pence is, of course, right. The violent insurrection at the US Capitol, which left more than 100 police officers injured and five people dead, were a cataclysm the likes of which American democracy has rarely seen. And Pence, as vice president on that day, had no role other than a ceremonial one -- to oversee the formal certification of the electoral vote count that showed Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election.
None of those facts will protect him from the anger of Donald Trump and the base the former President commands, however.

CNN is so lame. Pence had no chances to “doom”.
No, no chance at all.
Pence’s political future is DOA
Pence’s chances were always doomed because he is too much a gentleman and our side wants a Spartacus that can and will fight to the death with our ENEMIES who want to kill us.
That’s what I was going to say. We already know what it’s like to have a scared, cowering little rabbit in charge of the country. No chance we would put forth the republican version.
“ the base the former President commands”
These liberals will never get it. They are all about anger, control, drama, evil. They can’t even comprehend when something is honorable and selfless and good.
They don’t understand this at all, so they have to paint what they don’t understand with the only brush they know of. Evil.
An “insurrection” with no weapons. CNN lives in a different world.
Emphasis on the ‘D’ part, given he committed Treason.
And that’s a fact
My thought also.
Pence doomed his chances when he stabbed President Trump in the back on January 6.
“That same day we reconvened the Congress and did our duty”
Your duty was to makes sure that national elections were to become honest and trustworthy. Mike, you are a coward and a liar, just like to rest of the cabal you belong to.
YOU FAILED!
Pence has no future career, unless he totally repudiates all the RINO treachery we have seen so far. Will he? It had better be more than lip service. But, I am not optimistic.
I hadn’t heard he wanted to pursue any office in the future. Has he expressed interest?
Pence isnt on our radar here, thats for sure.
Well said.
Jan 6 notwithstanding, Pence needed Trump to be reelected to have ever had a shot.
