Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s primary loss could lead to presidential run


Greetings, OnPolitics readers!

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he would consider testifying before the House Jan. 6 committee if asked, in some of his most direct and extensive remarks on the subject.

“If there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it,” Pence said in remarks at a New Hampshire event, hosted by the New England Council and the New Hampshire Institute of Politics & Political Library at Saint Anselm College.

The former vice president expressed constitutional concerns about testifying before the committee, noting that it would be “unprecedented in history” for a vice president to be called to testify before Congress.

But it wouldn’t be the first time a president or vice president had testified before a congressional committee. At least six presidents and one vice president – ​​Schuyler Colfax, vice president to President Ulysses S. Grant – have testified before congressional committees, according to the US Senate’s website.

It’s Amy and She with today’s top stories out of Washington.
