Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stated Sunday that firmer Vice President Mike Pence missed out on the prospect to make use of the Jan. 6 certification of the 2020 election as a chance to “reunite this country.”
“I think that there was a historic opportunity that he missed to reunite this country in that window,” the biotech entrepreneur stated on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Here’s what I would have said: ‘We need single-day voting on Election Day. We need paper ballots, and we need government-issued IDs matching the voter file. And if we achieve that, then we have achieved victory, and we should not have any further complaint about election integrity.’”
Mr. Pence, who can be operating for president, in the end licensed the election outcomes and has since argued the Constitution wouldn’t have allowed him to do in any other case.
Mr. Ramaswamy, who in latest weeks has shot to 3rd within the polls behind former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis regardless of his standing as a nearly unknown political newcomer, stated he additionally would have in the end licensed the 2020 election outcomes.
“In my capacity as president of the Senate, I would have led through that level of reform. Then on that condition, certified the election results, served it up to President Trump then to sign that into law, and on January 7th declared the reelection campaign pursuant to a free and fair election,” Mr. Ramaswamy stated. “I think that was a missed opportunity. But that’s the kind of spirit we’re going to need to unite this country rather than sweeping those concerns under the rug.”
