Pence, Trump Reunite at Carter Funeral, First Meeting Since 2021
Jan 11, 2025, 07:01 PM
Former Vice President Mike Pence and President-elect Donald Trump had their first public interaction since January 2021 at the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter. The event, held at Washington National Cathedral, saw Pence congratulating Trump on his win, saying, "Congratulations, Mr. President," to which Trump responded, "Thanks, Mike." This marked the first meeting between the two since the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, when Pence certified Joe Biden's election victory despite pressure from Trump. Pence described the interaction as a welcomed opportunity and expressed hope that it symbolized moving past difficult times. The brief exchange was captured on camera, alongside other notable interactions among political figures at the funeral. Pence also addressed public scrutiny regarding his wife Karen Pence's body language and lack of interaction with Trump, stating that she deeply respects him. Pence mentioned his continued prayers for Trump and expressed hope for reconciliation.
