Presiding over a joint session of Congress, Pence was leading the certification of the 2020 election results, a constitutional duty that former President Donald Trump wanted him to abandon based on false claims that the race was stolen. The certification started around 1 p.m. on January 6.
Tim Giebels, Pence's lead security agent, asked the former vice president "twice" to evacuate the building, the book says. But Pence did not want to bow down to the rioters and flee the scene, according to the book.
"I'm not leaving the Capitol," he reportedly told Giebels.
Pence and his family then waited out the riot from an underground but undisclosed location inside the Capitol, the authors wrote. He was adamant that Congress finish its work that same night, the book says.
"We need to get back tonight," Pence reportedly told top lawmakers and defense officials on a call. "We can't let the world see that our process of confirming the next president can be delayed."
