Alec Hernández is a 2024 NBC News campaign embed.

In his most direct comments yet, Sen. Tim Scott said he would vote to certify the 2024 election results, after avoiding the topic in recent weeks. “Well, certainly,” Scott told CNN anchor Dana Bash in an interview on Sunday when asked if he would vote in favor of certifying. “We expect a fair and honest election and as a result of that expectation, we will certify the election — and certify President Donald Trump as our 47th president,” he continued.

That could put him in the position of certifying his own election outcome in the Senate in 2025, win or lose. Trump continues to falsely claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Several of his vice presidential contenders have waffled on whether the 2020 election was indeed stolen and on whether they will commit to accepting this year's results. Scott, for his part, voted to certify President Joe Biden's win in 2020 and has acknowledged Biden's win.
