6 committee: Pence said that the House select committee investigating Jan. 6 insurrection: Pence called it "the most difficult day of my public life." The former vice president said that on the day of the insurrection, he was determined to keep his oath – and going against Trump's wishes that day after working closely with him "was difficult." After being shown footage of rioters at the Capitol chanting “hang Mike Pence" during tonight's town hall, he said it saddened him to see those images, adding, “that day it angered me.” "I think it’s time for new leadership in this country that will bring us together around our highest ideals,” he said. On his own possible presidential bid: “I’ll keep you posted,” Pence told Tapper when asked if his future plans involve a run for president in 2024. On Trump’s candidacy: Pence said Republicans will “have better choices” in the 2024 presidential race than Trump, but said he believes Americans want to get back to the policies of their administration. He did not say whether he would or wouldn't support Trump's candidacy. The former vice president took questions from CNN’s Jake Tapper and a live studio audience. The event also follows the release of Pence’s memoir, “So Help Me God,” on Tuesday. The event took place a day after former President Donald Trump announced his third bid for president and just hours after CNN projected Republicans will win the House. Former Vice President Mike Pence answered questions at a CNN town hall Wednesday - including some about his own 2024 plans and his thoughts on the direction of the Republican Party after a disappointing showing in last week’s midterm elections.
