Urbandale, Iowa — Former Vice President Mike Pence was back in Iowa, the day after a federal judge ruled Pence must testify before a grand jury investigating January 6th and former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Pence spoke with reporters after addressing the Westside Conservative Club in Urbandale Wednesday morning. Host Kim Schmett praised Pence for not bending to the pressure on January 6th.
Pence, who drew the largest crowd of the year at the Westside Conservative Club, has not yet announced whether he’ll run for the Republican Party’s 2024 presidential nomination. He answered audience about the economy, partisan rancor and the war in Ukraine. While answering a question about border security, Pence recalled an Oval Office meeting with Trump.
Pence made a midday stop in Cedar Rapids to address a crowd of Linn County Republicans and then traveled to Iowa City to be the keynote speaker at the Johnson County Republicans Reagan Dinner.
