mike pence criticized Joe BidenManaged the economy but avoided any criticism Donald TrumpThose who called them a ‘human conveyor belt’ failed to reject what they said was fraudulent votes 2020 election,
“Tough economic times are upon us,” Pence said during a speech at the University Club of Chicago on Monday, which he used as an indictment of Biden’s presidency.
He said, ‘The economic crisis we are facing now is almost because of one person.’
And, he warned, Americans ‘know that there will be more economic pain to come.’
Pence, who is looking to run for president in 2024, called for a “change of direction”.
“The truth is that most Americans know that President Biden’s economic policies have completely and utterly failed and it is time for America to change direction,” he said.
Pence, in a speech that could be seen as a campaign platform, slammed Biden for the high gas prices, inflation and lack of baby formula facing the country.
“The Biden administration has lost American prosperity faster than any other administration in our nation’s history,” he said.
‘Inflation is at its peak. Gas and food prices are rising. Real wages are falling. And the stock market is falling. Grocery stores are empty from time to time, Pence said, and in recent years the confidence and pride that was once synonymous for the American people has been replaced by fear and national anxiety.
But he didn’t explicitly direct any criticism toward Trump, who has continued to slam him for overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election, when Pence oversaw the Electoral College’s certification — a ceremonial role.
Mike Pence criticized Joe Biden’s leadership of the economy in a speech at the University Club of Chicago on Monday, but avoided any criticism of Donald Trump.
Pence referred indirectly to January 6 but made no reference to that day – a crowd of MAGA supporters shouted that they wanted to hang him – nor did he talk about Trump’s role in the rebellion.
‘You know we’ve all gone through a lot over the years – a global pandemic, social unrest, a divisive election, a sad day in our nation’s capital and this administration is driving our economy into the abyss of socialist welfare every day. is the state,’ Pence said.
But he didn’t go further than that, backing down to criticize Biden.
The special committee investigating Jan. 6 focused on last Thursday’s hearing on Pence and pressure from Trump and his allies to reject Biden’s election counting victory.
Testimony shows Trump called his then-Vice President a ‘wimp’.
And, after the hearing, in his speech to religious conservatives at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s “Road to the Majority” gathering, Trump rebuked his vice president again.
Trump said, ‘Mike was afraid of what he was afraid of.
‘But as you heard a year and a half ago, Mike Pence had no choice but to have a human conveyor belt…. even if the votes were bogus.
‘They said they had to send votes…couldn’t do anything.’

Trump will soon be Illinois too. He’s going there later this week — ahead of the state’s primary election — to hold a rally in support of new Representative Mary Miller, whom she endorsed in a one-on-one Republican matchup with five-term Representative Rodney Davis. Had given.
The only mention of Trump made by Pence on Monday was bragging about the country’s economic record under Trump’s presidency.
‘President Biden has inherited the richest economy in the history of the world. Before the pandemic hit Americans under the Trump Pence administration, more than 7 million new jobs were created,’ Pence said.
Pence focused most of his comments on the economic difficulties many Americans are feeling. Voters give Biden low marks on his handling of the economy. And Democrats fear they could lose control of Congress in the upcoming midterm election because of voters’ financial unhappiness.
“I have a strong belief that unless this administration changes its course and their allies in Congress change dramatically, the American people are going to change leadership, and change leadership very soon,” he said.
Pence said that under him and Trump, “the United States has become the number one producer of oil and natural gas in the world.”
And he hit out at Biden for blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine for high gas prices across the country.
“President Biden blames Vladimir Putin for our current energy crisis with an unconscious invasion of Ukraine.” The truth is that petrol prices are skyrocketing, and not because of the war in Ukraine. Gas prices are rising because of Joe Biden’s war on energy and it has to stop and stop today,’ he said.
Former President Donald Trump renewed his attack on Vice President Mike Pence and the Jan. 6 committee in a speech to religious conservatives Friday at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s ‘Road to the Majority’ gathering in Nashville, Tennessee.
Meanwhile, members of the committee investigating the uprising said they may summon Pence.
“We are not taking anything in the context of witnesses who have not yet testified,” said Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, who described a Pence summons as “definitely a possibility.”
