By Donna Provencher -January 15, 2021 2:39 PM
Donald Trump still hasn't accepted his defeat.
More than two months after President-elect Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election, nine days after a deadly attack by supporters of Donald Trump on the U.S. Capitol that claimed five lives, and two days after Trump became the first White House occupant in history to be impeached twice, Vice President Mike Pence finally called Vice President-elect Kamala Harris Friday to congratulate her on her win.
The New York Times noted that Pence was "filling a leadership role all but abdicated by President Trump" when he called Harris Friday morning.
On Thursday, Pence, seemingly acting as de facto president, tweeted that he would oversee a peaceful inauguration and transition of power: "The American people can be confident that we're going to ensure that we'll have a safe Inauguration in a matter consistent with our history & traditions. We have confidence our Law Enforcement will protect our Capitol and the Great people of this Nation next week."
Trump has still not publicly acknowledged he lost the election on Nov. 3.

Lets see you have a police officer murdered you were forced to leave a chamber during a certification of election, you had people that wanted to hang you and you finally admit that Biden won and to top it all off you helped incite this :
But Pence promoted Trump's false claims of election fraud the same ones that incited the violent mob of Trump supporters on Jan. 6 right up to the bitter end. Speaking at an event sponsored by far-right youth organization Turning Point USA on Dec. 22, he told audience members to "stay in the fight in our election."
"As our election contest continues, I'll make you a promise," he continued. "We're going to keep fighting until every legal vote is counted. We're going to keep fighting until every illegal vote is thrown out."
