Tim Scott, R-S.C., who is on the short list to be former President Donald Trump's running mate, said Sunday he stands by his vote on Jan. 6, 2021, to certify President Joe Biden's 2020 victory.
When pressed if then-Vice President Mike Pence did the "right thing" by bucking Trump's demands to block certification of the results, Scott implied that Pence had no choice, saying the "constitution is clear.", R-Fla., and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are being vetted to join Trump on the ticket this November. Whether or not they would have certified the 2020 election results has emerged as a dividing line among some of the possible vice presidential picks.
Burgum has accepted Biden as the legitimate 2020 election victor but has been more circumspect on accepting the results of the 2024 race.Trump made his first trip back to the Capitol last week since the riot to discuss future policy plans with congressional Republicans. Scott, who met with Trump, praised the former president's policies to help working class Americans.
