Pence explains why he didn't concede 2020 election before Jan. 6
Fox News
Former Vice President Mike Pence defended not conceding the 2020 presidential election until after Congress certified the results in January 2021 in an interview with CNN.
Pence said he wanted to be "respectful" of former President Trump's attempt to challenge the election results, observing there were "about 60 lawsuits" that were winding their way through court.

"The reality is I wanted to respect the process. I wanted to make it clear that I was going to do my job, as the presiding officer, over the Congress, as my 47 predecessors had done, and as Vice President, serving as president of the Senate. I think we did our duty. By God's grace, we did our duty that day," he said.
