Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, former NSC chief of staff to former President Trump, said Friday, April 30, that former Vice President Mike Pence and Trump are expected to repair their relationship and that “they have spoken again.
Kellogg was speaking Friday on the “John Solomon Report” podcast. The Solomon Report” podcast. As Trump’s former White House National Security Council chief of staff and secretary of administration, Kellogg is also former national security adviser to Vice President Mike Pence, and thus has become a “go-between” for the two to repair their relationship.
When the show’s host asked him if Trump and Pence could mend their relationship, Kellogg replied, “Absolutely. That’s for sure.” He went on to say, “They’re already talking. I know that the president (Trump) called him while he (Pence) was undergoing cardiac pacing surgery recently. I know that they spoke.”
Kellogg also recalled his time in the White House with Trump and Pence. He said, “I used to spend a lot of time with both of them in the Oval Office. I really enjoyed being with both of them.” He added that when the two of them needed to talk privately, the vice president would say, “Please leave the room to me,” meaning “please leave,” and “so I would get up and leave the Oval Office, leaving them both alone to talk. “
Kellogg believes that Trump and Pence were an “unbelievably” good teammate, able to move forward together.
At a Jan. 6 rally in Washington, Trump publicly called on Pence to “do the right thing” and wanted him to reject the Electoral College vote results turned in by several swing states. Trump argued that there was widespread electoral fraud in those states and that the joint session should not recognize the results.
However, Senate President Mike Pence, who was the presiding officer at the joint session of Congress, did not reject the swing states’ electoral college votes. He explained that the U.S. Constitution does not give him the authority to do so. In response, Trump publicly attacked Pence for “not having the courage to do what he should do to protect our country and our Constitution” and said he was “disappointed” in his behavior. Since then, a rift has emerged in their relationship.
In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, April 29, Trump said he would “definitely” consider Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as his running mate if he ran for president again, without mentioning Pence.
Pence has kept a low profile since leaving office, and on April 7, he launched an organization called Advancing American Freedom, which aims to combine traditional conservative ideas with the Trumpist “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) movement. “(MAGA) movement. Trump praised Pence’s new organization when he learned of it.
On April 29, Pence gave his first speech since leaving office on the sidelines of President Joe Biden’s joint session of Congress speech. In his speech, he praised the achievements of the Trump administration, saying that the four years of the Trump administration have been “four years of results, of outcomes, of promises, of delivering on promises.
In his speech, Pence also criticized Biden’s policies after 100 days in office, saying it was “100 days of removing our most cherished freedoms. He called on conservatives to “stand up” and “unite under a positive agenda to win back America.
