Days later, Pence accepted his party’s vice presidential nomination on the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. In February 2020, President Trump introduced that Vice President Pence would lead the administration’s response to the coronavirus, which originated in China and was spreading around the globe. After his time period as vice president, Pence signed a multimillion dollar, two-e-book deal with Simon & Schuster. In 2015, Duterte confirmed his links to extrajudicial killings in Davao, and warned that, if elected president, he could kill up to 100,000 criminals; he challenged human rights officials to file a case towards him if they may present proof of his hyperlinks with vigilante teams. Duterte has denied responsibility for the extrajudicial killings. Extrajudicial killings that had been allegedly dedicated by the Davao Death Squad between 1998 and 2016 throughout Duterte's mayoralty have also been scrutinized by human-rights groups and the Office of the Ombudsman. |
