Former Vice President Mike Pence, seeking the Republican nomination for president next year, added his voice to the ongoing dialogue about moving the headquarters of U.S. Space Command from Colorado to Alabama.

WAAY is reporting that Pence, in town to speak to the Gridiron Men’s Conference at Von Braun Center, gave his blessing to Huntsville.

“Having Space Command here in a community that for generations has been synonymous with space innovation, and supported all of our efforts, not only in civilian space exploration, but also in supporting all of the technology that supports our national defense – there’s only one place it should be, and that’s right here in the hub of the American space program, Huntsville, Alabama,” Pence said.

The ongoing struggle over where Space Command should be headquartered took another turn last week when House members inserted language into an appropriation bill which would virtually ensure Huntsville as the choice.

Pence, who said he believes the Biden Administration has weakened America, said the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump contains serious allegations.

“No one’s above the law and every American is entitled to a presumption of innocence,” said Pence.
