A defiant Trump told supporters Wednesday that he would “never concede” and that he had just spoken to Pence, whom he has urged to block the counting of electoral college votes of several states won by Biden.
“I hope Mike is going to do the right thing,” Trump told a crowd gathered on the White House Ellipse. “I hope so. I hope so, because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. … All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president.”
Trump, who appeared more than an hour later than scheduled, said he had spoken to Pence and told him that participating in the reversal of the election isn’t what takes courage.
“I said, ‘Mike, that doesn’t take courage,' ” Trump said. “What takes courage is to do nothing, that takes courage. And then we’re stuck with a president who lost the election by a lot. And we have to live with that for four more years.”
A few minutes later, Trump returned to the subject of Pence’s role.
“And Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us,” Trump said. “And if he doesn’t, that will be a sad day for our country because you’re sworn to uphold our Constitution.”
Trump also urged his supporters to closely watch how members of Congress vote Wednesday on accepting the election results.
“If they do the wrong thing, we should never, ever forget,” he said.
Trump later asserted that the apparent losses of the two Republicans in Georgia’s U.S. Senate races makes it even more important that he hold the presidency. If both Democrats are certified as winners, Democrats will take control of the Senate in Washington, along with the House.
He opened his remarks by overstating the size of his crowd.
“These people are not going to take it any longer,” Trump said. “They’re not going to take it any longer.”
