Republican senatorā€™s comments come as he is considered among Trumpā€™s top candidates for vice-president

The Republican Florida senatorĀ Marco Rubio said on Sunday he would not commit to accepting the 2024 presidential election results, insisting that ā€œif itā€™s unfairā€ his party will ā€œgo to court and point out the fact that states are not following their own election lawsā€.

Rubioā€™s statements on Meet the Press come as he is considered among former president Donald Trumpā€™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.

    obviously itā€™s only fair if Trump wins like he says. Otherwise itā€™s just rigged if he doesnā€™t win

      Thatā€™s exactly how Trump thinks, whenever he calls things unfair itā€™s just regular crap but everything is unfair if they donā€™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 weā€™d need to limit the size of screen theyā€™d produce otherwise we could only make out a nose hair at best.

      Hell, Trump whined that 2016 was rigged even though he won the electoral college.
