Former Vice President Mike Pence, who had to be evacuated four years ago Monday as rioters stormed the Capitol, welcomed “the return of order and civility” as Congress moved to certify President-elect Trump’s 2024 victory.
“The peaceful transfer of power is the hallmark of our democracy and today, members of both parties in the House and Senate along with the vice president certified the election of our new president and vice president without controversy or objection,” Pence posted on the social platform X.
“I also commend the members of the House, Senate and the Vice President who did their duty under the Constitution of the United States, it being particularly admirable that Vice President Harris would preside over the certification of a presidential election that she lost,” he added.
Harris presided on Monday as Congress certified Trump’s November election, where he defeated the vice president 312 electoral votes to 226. There were no objections from Democrats about any of the state results.

Yeah, as Nixon did in 1961, Humphrey did in 1969, Mondale did in 1981, and Gore did in 2001. It is part of the job, nothing extraordinary.
She did what was required of the President of the Senate as prescribed by the Constitution, just as he did.
Is he still trying to be relevant?
Pence is the poster boy for Trump backstabbers.
Calling it admirable is pandering.
Yeah! I couldn’t sleep nights awaiting this magnificently inane emission from Pence.
Though his extensive efforts at kissing up to the leftists is disturbing
If he has nothing intelligent or useful to say, it sure round be nice if he just kept quiet
Pro forma for the Kackler.
2020 was stolen, Pence.
Credit where due: she handled it with quiet dignity,
was he ever relevant? don’t remember this guy. was he somebody important?
Why he have to say this ?
A self serving comment given he is a spineless traitor when he did it. Nothing more then a coward trying to humble-brag a virtue into his past character-less performance.
Pence should have done likewise, but was too much of a eunuch to do the right thing himself, and the of course had to make reference to the situation that should have rightly been called a protest of the obvious election steal. Dems and the MSM will never admit their insurrection on January 6 2020, and want the history books to codify their lie for future generations to be taught.
Exactly.
What is a Pence?
Isn’t that something you accidentally step in and have to scrape off your shoe?
I thought it was spelled differently.
Nothing admirable about you Mike, approving fraudulent electors and allowing a coup to occur four years ago.
Pence is wrong as usual.....it’s not peaceful in the least.....if you look at all the things taterhead is doing every day now.
Selling off border wall, soros, cheney and Hitlery get medals, massive oil drilling restrictions, hot water heater bans.....it’s a fresh outrage every 24 hours.
So I don’t know what the hell he thinks is so peaceful about any of it.
And still 2 more weeks to go.
I wonder if Pence is going to show up for the inauguration.
Yes, unfortunately.
