Former Vice President Mike Pence told a CNN town hall in Des Moines, Iowa on June 7 that he will not be granting pardons to any of the individuals who have been charged for taking part in the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Pence officially entered the 2024 presidential race on Wednesday with a video announcement on Twitter in which he criticized President Joe Biden and the “radical left” for weakening the United States both at home and abroad.
