Former Vice President Mike Pence extended his congratulations to former President-Elect Donald Trump for winning a second term in the White House. In a statement released on Wednesday, Pence expressed his well wishes to Trump and his family on their victory.
Pence also congratulated Trump's running mate, JD Vance, and the newly elected members of the Republican majorities in the United States Senate and the House of Representatives. He emphasized his anticipation for their efforts to enhance American security, prosperity, and respect for life.
Throughout the statement, Pence highlighted the importance of prayer for those in authority and encouraged all Americans to join him in praying for the incoming President, Vice President, and elected officials at all levels. He concluded with a patriotic sentiment, saying, 'God Bless America.'
Pence, who served as Trump's vice president during his first term, acknowledged the strained relationship between the two following Pence's refusal to support Trump's efforts to overturn President Biden's 2020 election victory.
