In recent days, several potential Donald Trump running mates have demonstrated their loyalty to the former president by refusing to commit to honoring the results of the 2024 presidential election. “Ultimately, the 47th President of the United States will be President Donald Trump. That is what I maintain.” Announce South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott in an interview with NBC Meet the press. He repeatedly refused to consider another scenario.
Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance offered a qualified response: “If the election were free and fair, Dana, I think all Republicans would enthusiastically accept the results.” Announce Vance on CNN. And again, I think these results will show that Donald Trump was elected president. »
Vance showed his loyalty to Trump in another way on Monday. He was among the Republican elected officials who attended the beginning of Michael Cohen's testimony in Donald Trump's impeachment trial in New York. And this Tuesday, at least three other potential running mates followed suit: North Dakota Republican Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida Republican Representative Byron Donalds and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.
This is a new test that can also be considered further evidence of Donald Trump's control over the party of Abraham Lincoln.
Note: House Speaker Mike Johnson is also in New York on Tuesday.
