WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is trying to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to use powers he doesn’t have to overturn the will of voters in a desperate and futile bid to undo President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the November election.

If Vice President @Mike_Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency. Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect & even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be). Mike can send it back!

Pence finds himself in the most precarious position of his tenure as he prepares to preside over Wednesday’s congressional tally of Electoral College votes.

Beginning at 1 p.m., Pence’s role is to open the certificates of the electoral votes from each state and present them to the appointed “tellers” from the House and Senate in alphabetical order.

And Pence has the task of announcing who’s won the majority of votes for both president and vice president.
