Senator Tim Scott: I reaffirm my decision to certify the 2020 election

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., who is reportedly on former President Donald Trump’s running mate shortlist for the 2024 election, reiterated his decision to certify the election on Jan. 6, 2021, in anticipation of a Republican presidential victory.

“Certainly, I will stand by that decision and the next decision to certify the fact that Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States,” Scott told ABC News’s “This Week.”

“The day of reckoning is coming. The early ballots go out in places like North Carolina starting in September.”

Election Day is Nov. 5.

“We’re going to focus on making sure that we use every tool in the toolkit to make sure that this election’s results are clear and profound and that the American people get four more years of low unemployment, low inflation, high enthusiasm, and a president respected and sometimes feared on the global stage,” Scott said. “That president will be Donald Trump.”
