Republican senator’s comments come as he is considered among Trump’s top candidates for vice-president

The Republican Florida senator Marco Rubio said on Sunday he would not commit to accepting the 2024 presidential election results, insisting that “if it’s unfair” his party will “go to court and point out the fact that states are not following their own election laws”.

Rubio’s statements on Meet the Press come as he is considered among former president Donald Trump’s top candidates for vice-president. Trump has continuously said falsely that the 2020 election was stolen.

Those claims spurred the 6 January 2021 insurrection, during which participants stormed the Capitol building as lawmakers were in the midst of certifying the election results. Trump is facing a variety of charges related to alleged election meddling.

    That’s exactly how Trump thinks, whenever he calls things unfair it’s just regular crap but everything is unfair if they don’t get their desired outcome. The mental gymnastics are absolutely amazing with these people. If we could turn that into an energy source we could get off of oil. Likewise with their projection, though we’d need to limit the size of screen they’d produce otherwise we could only make out a nose hair at best.
