Anonymous Coward User ID: 79767073 Canada 12/18/2020 08:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Pence to head overseas Jan. 6 hours after formally declaring Biden the presidential victor Treacherous! Vice President Mike Pence is scheduled to travel overseas for the first time during the Covid-19 pandemic just hours after presiding over the congressional session in which President-elect Joe Biden will be formally declared the winner of November’s contest against President Donald Trump.
The Indiana Republican will depart the U.S. on Jan. 6 for a trip that will include stops in Bahrain, Israel and Poland, according to a government document obtained by NBC News. Pence will remain abroad through Jan. 11.
The travel schedule, which an administration official said is subject to change, has dual benefits for Pence.
He is expected to use his last trip as vice president to tout the administration’s foreign policy achievements, including the normalization of relations between Israel and a number of Gulf states including Bahrain.
It will also allow Pence, rumored to be harboring his own presidential ambitions, to get out of Washington after performing the awkward job of announcing his and Trump’s defeat to Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. [ link to www.cnbc.com (secure)] |

This ceremony is BOUND to take a lot longer than normal. It only makes sense if it was canceled or moved to a later date altogether. |

There will be objections to the electors of 7 states, followed by heated debates in the senate and congress and this is repeated for EVERY disputed state. This entire event will probably take the entire night and half of the following day. They will probably still be debating when Pence returns from his trip. .
