A top deputy to Mike Pence in the White House who has remained his close ally unloaded on the inner circle cultivated by former President Donald Trump on Sunday, who he likened to “snake-oil salesmen” for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Marc Short treaded a fine line on the issue of the 2020 election during an interview with Meet the Press on NBC. He backed up the assertions made by the former vice president last week at the Federalist Society, where Mr Pence argued that he never had the constitutional authority to halt the certification of some states’ election results by the Senate.
