Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said Monday evening that he had looked to Founding Father James Madison as he had certified the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden, despite pressure from former U.S. President Donald Trump to block it.
Asked during an event at the University of Iowa who had told him to buck Trump's plan, Pence responded, "James Madison."
The former vice president also cited the Bible, saying, "Psalm 15 says he who keeps his oath even when it hurts."
He noted that he had written a letter to Congress expressing concern over voting in some states.
"I continue to share those concerns and I support efforts in states to improve voter integrity as has been done in places like Georgia and Arizona and elsewhere," Pence said, even though there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in any state during the 2020 election.
