Without mentioning Trump by name, Pence said there are "those in our party" who believe that "any one person" could select the president. But on all else, Pence appears to be hewing closely to Trump and a Republican Party made more in the 45th President's image. "President Donald Trump is also one of a kind," Pence said. Elsewhere in his remarks, Pence directed plenty of criticism at Democrats, including President Joe Biden's record on immigration and his spending proposals. "Our party must ensure that critical race theory is expelled from our schools, our military and our public institutions," Pence said.
