Vice President Mike Pence has told Donald Trump that he lacked the power to challenge Vice President-elect Joe Biden’s electoral victory despite the US president’s insistence that he did not, according to a media report.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Pence delivered the message to Trump during his weekly lunch with the president.

Pence is set to preside over the US Senate on Wednesday as it receives the results of the state-by-state Electoral College that determines the winner of presidential elections.
