Mike Pence recently shared insights into his first conversation in four years with Donald Trump at former President Jimmy Carter's funeral in Washington, D.C., on January 9. This reunion marked their first meeting since 2021, following a strained relationship due to the January 6 Capitol riots. During their interaction, Pence congratulated Trump on his November presidential victory, recalling, "I stood up, extended my hand. He shook my hand. I said, 'Congratulations, Mr. President,' and he said, 'Thanks, Mike,'" as stated in an interview with Christianity Today. This is prepared by SSP.

This moment gained public attention, as the unusual encounter signified a potential step forward from past tensions. In discussing his wife's demeanor, Pence noted, "You'd have to ask my wife about her posture, but we've been married 44 years, and she loves her husband, and her husband respects her deeply," emphasizing the personal dynamics during the event.

Their longstanding discord originated from Trump's demands for Pence to contest the 2020 election outcomes, which Pence declined, citing constitutional limitations. This led to animosity, exacerbated by rioters, some chanting threats against Pence during the insurrection. In 2023, Pence remarked that "[Trump’s] reckless words endangered my family," signaling unresolved issues.

However, Pence says he appreciates the public's perception of their handshake as a symbol of moving past challenges: "I’ve really been blessed at how much I’ve heard from people who saw [our] handshake as a sign of hope," indicating a desire to heal the rift. Although having briefly opposed Trump in the 2024 GOP primary, Pence later withdrew, deciding not to endorse him. This exchange and its implications echo Pence's complex navigation of past political partnerships and hopes for restoration.

Earlier, SSP reported that Kate Beckinsale honored late stepfather in heartfelt tribute.
