Mike Pence criticized Joe Biden in speech at the University Club of Chicago amid Jan. 6 hearings alleging Donald Trump tried to overturn the election.
It was the first of two stops in Illinois and came less than a week before his former boss, President Donald Trump, visits Illinois for a downstate rally.
"The economic woes now upon us have been caused almost single-handedly by one person: the 46th president of the United States of America, Joe Biden," Pence said. "We've all been though a lot in the last several years, global pandemic, social unready, a divisive election, a tragic day in our nation's capitol," Pence said.
