Former Vice President Mike Pence said he congratulated President-elect Donald Trump on his election victory during former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral service on Jan. 9, when the two former colleagues exchanged pleasantries and shook hands.
“He greeted me when he came down the aisle. I stood up, extended my hand. He shook my hand. I said, ‘Congratulations, Mr. President,’ and he said, ‘Thanks, Mike,’” Pence told Christianity Today is a Jan. 10 interview.
