Pence Challenges Trump's Jan. 6 Narrative, Advocates for New GOP Leadership

Former Vice President Mike Pence has publicly contradicted Donald Trump's claims about the January 6 Capitol riot, calling it a "riot that should never have happened" and denouncing it as anything but peaceful. Pence urged Republican voters to support a different candidate in the 2024 presidential election, suggesting the GOP needs fresh leadership. While he praised potential candidates like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, and acknowledged his long friendship with Chris Christie, Pence did not endorse a specific challenger to Trump. He emphasized the importance of moving forward with new leadership in the Republican Party and the White House.
