Mike Pence and Ron DeSantis said all candidates should show for Wednesday's GOP debate.
"I always stood loyally by President Donald Trump until my oath to the Constitution required me to do otherwise," former Vice President Mike Pence told conference moderator, syndicated talk show host Erick Erickson, at what's called The Gathering. "But my differences with the president go far beyond that fateful day, and I hope to have a chance to debate them with him. Look, we have real differences about the future of the country as well.
Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis told the conference everyone who's qualified for the debate stage should show up, adding, "if you don't "people are not going to look kindly on that." The Gathering is co-sponsored by Hardworking Americans, a PAC founded by Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp -- who earlier this week again flatly denied Trump's claim the state's presidential election was stolen.
On Friday, Kemp also predicted that the Georgia trial, "despite what dates anybody's asking for or anything else," won't happen before voters go to the polls next year.
