WATCH: Lindsey Graham and JD Vance Both Give Cagey Answers When Asked if They’ll Accept 2024 Election Results
Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and JD Vance (R-OH) both gave carefully worded answers when asked if they will accept the results of the 2024 election.
In separate interviews on NBC’s Meet the Press and CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, the two senators both heavily qualified their answers about whether they will accept the results.
“Will you accept the results of the 2024 election no matter who wins?” NBC’s Kristen Welker asked Graham.
“Yeah I’ll accept it,” Graham said. “If I think there’s no massive cheating.”
The senator did not cite a past election he believes was impacted by widespread cheating, nor any reason why the 2024 election would be impacted.
Meanwhile on CNN, when asked if he plans to accept the 2024 results, Vance said this:
“I totally plan to accept the results of 2024. I think that Donald Trump will be the victory (sic). And if it’s a free and fair election, Dana, I think every Republican will enthusiastically accept the results. And again, I think those results will show that Donald Trump has been elected president — reelected president. I think that this question, though, it’s interesting, Dana, because we have to be willing, as Democrats did in 2000, as Democrats have done in the past, and certainly as Republicans did in 2020 … if you think there were problems, you have to be willing to pursue those problems and try to prosecute that case. And certainly if we have a free and fair election, I’ll accept the results.”
“Even if Joe Biden wins?” Dana Bash asked.
“Sure,” Vance replied. “If it’s a free and fair election, I will accept the results, Dana, whoever wins.”
The question has become a popular one in recent weeks on the Sunday morning shows. Last week. Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) went viral for refusing to commit to the results of the 2024 election in a heated clash with Welker.
