Vivek Ramaswamy called Donald Trump the 'best president of the 21st century' and challenged Mike Pence on whether he'd pardon Trump if elected in 2024.
Political newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy deemedthe"best president of the 21st century," setting himself apart from other 2024 GOP contenders on the Milwaukee debate stage Wednesday who – whether they shied away from or directly attacked Trump – openly threw support behind how former Vice President Mike Pence handled the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
"We'll give fair consideration to a pardon request," Pence said, deflecting."President Trump is entitled to the presumption of innocence that every American is entitled to. And we will make sure and extend that to him. But the American people deserve to know that the president asked me in his request that I reject or return votes unilaterally – power that no vice president in American history had ever exercised or taken – he asked me to put him over the Constitution.
"This election is not about Jan. 6 of 2021. It's Jan. 20 of 2025 when the next president is going to take office," DeSantis said."I know what the Democrats would like to do. They want to talk about all these other issues. But we've got to focus on your future. We've got to focus on reversing the decline of our country. I learned in the military – I was assigned with U.S. Navy SEALs in Iraq – that you focus on the mission above all else. You can't get distracted.
