Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina responded to NBC host Kristen Welker’s challenge regarding his commitment to the 2024 presidential election results during his appearance on “Meet the Press.” The discussion revolved around the upcoming race between President Joe Biden and presumptive GOP nominee former President Donald Trump. Welker questioned Scott about his potential consideration as Trump’s vice president pick, highlighting the “fundamental difference” between Scott’s and Trump’s beliefs on the 2020 election results.
“There are clear facts here. President Trump himself said he expects this election to be fair. He expects it to be honest, and he expects to win. That’s what the presidential candidate should expect. I expect the exact same thing. Frankly, the American people agree with him. This is an issue that is not an issue. I’m not going to make it an issue,” Scott stated.
“Well, senator, will you commit to accepting the election results of 2024, bottom line?” Welker questioned.
“At the end of the day, the 47th president of the United States will be President Donald Trump. I’m excited to get back to low inflation, low unemployment —” Scott stated.
“Wait, wait senator, yes or no? Will you accept the election results of 2024 no matter who wins?” Welker interjected.
“That is my statement,” Scott noted.
“Just yes or no. Will you accept the election results of 2024?” Welker asked.
“I look forward to President Trump being the 47th president. You can ask it multiple times, Kristen. But —” Scott stated.
“Senator, just a yes or no answer,” Welker jumped in.
