U.S-Pence breaks with Trump and says he won’t overturn election as president threatens him on stage

Vice President Mike Pence said to legislators he lacks the statutory powers to refuse Electoral College votes cast for President-elect Joe Biden, even as Donald Trump used a midday rally in Washington to proceed to pressure him to do just that.

“It is my considered judgment than my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrained me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not,” the vice president wrote to members of Congress in a letter released minutes before a joint session will count the electoral tally.
