Former Vice President Mike Pence has announced that he is suspending his bid for the presidency; Glenn Kirschner analyzes what this may mean. At a campaign stop, Donald Trump mentioned that Pence dropped out, and laughed when someone in the crowd yelled, "Traitor!" Trump then said that Pence "could have done what he could have done," an obvious reference to Trump's continued lie that Pence could have and should have violated the law - the Electoral Count Act - and corruptly declared Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election. The reality is that Pence will have the last laugh (figuratively speaking) when he is called as a prosecution witness to testify against Trump at his DC trial, about Trump's illegal pressure campaign attempting to get Pence to go along with his (Trump's) criminal scheme.
