Mike Pence will skip the country as soon as he formally confirms Joe Biden's victory on January 6 with week-long foreign tour to avoid face-to-face confrontation with Donald Trump and angry supporters.
Vice President Mike Pence is expected to leave the country on a week-long world tour, directly after he formally confirms President-elect Joe Biden's victory on the House floor on January 6.
Politico reported Thursday that Pence is eyeing a trip abroad that week that would take him to Bahrain, Israel and Poland, though the trip hasn't been officially confirmed.
'I suspect the timing is anything but coincidental,' a Pence ally told the newsite.
Pence, who as vice president is also president of the Senate, will be put in the awkward position of presiding over a January 6 session of the House of Representatives where the Electoral College vote tallies are confirmed.
Republicans could delay the final sign-off if one member of the House and one member of the Senate challenges any of the state's results.
Then members of the House and Senate will go back to their respective chambers and debate the challenge, but only a majority vote is needed to overrule any objection.
So while GOP lawmakers could delay the inevitable, Pence will eventually have to announce Biden's win.
That could lead President Donald Trump to unleashing on Pence, as he has Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been a top ally to the president during his nearly four years in office, but congratulated Biden for winning the White House Tuesday on the Senate floor.

Wood is acting crazy. Biden would appoint the Chief Justice.
Just release the tape. I want to hear Roberts conspiring with Breyer.
Todd Rokita replaced Curtis Hill
He is the one that helped get photo ID for voters in place. Scotus upheld it.
I don’t necessarily believe this..However, regardless I never ever trusted Pence...He is best friends with Paul Ryan...No way he doesn’t think like Ryan...Never been a fan despite this issue.
“....Pence will eventually have to announce Biden’s win.
That could lead President Donald Trump to unleashing on Pence...”
This is baloney. Pence would be fulfilling his duty under the Constitution as President of the Senate.
👍
Oh give me a break.
Frankly I don’t care if he was trying to run. Pence is a good man and deserves respect, regardless.
That is very interesting!
You must be some kind of a radical. 🙀😱🤪
Mike Pence has been a very loyal supporter of President Trump, period.
UK Fake News is trying to smear both Pence and Trump with their B.S. GOSSIP.
It’s definitely misleading. If I were an Iranian mullah I’d be really nervous.
The “news” today is like a gaggle of girls who gossip and make sh*t up.
Daily Mail is part of the Murdoch publishing empire, so there’s that.
I don’t get the slavish devotion around here, either.
That is where the love for s9me of these people comes from. When it seems they are all Trump.
And as soon as someone seems against Trump, then they are the devil incarnate.
Good to have witness of their perfidy: thank you! It’s another Twitter-like organization, it would seem.
That stands to reason....
Well I did have ancestors who came over on The Mayflower, and signed the Mayflower Compact, as well as Patriot ancestors who defied King George and fought for independence from British oppression.
Well pretty much everything from Daily Mail is false - so there’s that.
Pence will have no alternative if the Congress approves the electors for Biden. Yes, Pence could not approve of the slate and possibly send the issue to Congress. Trump was screwed by Republican Legislators in WI, MI, PA, GA and AZ. Are you so sure they would vote for Trump in the House? As I told my daughter for the last month, the fraud was so pervasive it is like flood waters overwhelming the system. PDJT has been left to fight the flood waters of fraud with a bucket and a sponge. Those who should have been bailing with him walked away. He has 73 million MAGA voters, but once we voted there was little else we could do.
The question left to be answered is how to we carry this fight forward? How do we stay united in the face of overall criticism and attacks by the RATS and the GOPe? Trump is product of our angst, where do we go from here?
Does Pence actually believe he can escape the fury of Trump on the other side of the planet??
Vice President Pence has my respect.
If a scenario comes along where Pence will have to choose between Biden and Trump, we will know whether or not he is a Christian. We know how both candidates stand on killing babies; we’ll see what’s in Pence’s heart.
