President Trump’s choice to pardon and commute the sentences of more than 1,250 people convicted for crimes related to the January 6 Capitol riot has sparked intense debate. Vice President JD Vance, along with other Trump supporters, has backed the decision, with Vance changing his original position to support the blanket pardon. However, Democrats strongly oppose the move, with senior lawmakers planning to introduce a resolution to condemn the pardons and pressure Republicans to take a public stand on the matter.
