Sen. Marco Rubio said Sunday that “vice presidents can’t simply decide not to certify” the result of an election, distancing himself from the repeated claims of former President Donald Trump.
Mr. Trump has insisted that former Vice President Mike Pence could have changed the results of the 2020 election.
“I just don’t think a vice president has that power,” Mr. Rubio said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”
“If President Trump runs for reelection, I believe he would defeat Joe Biden — and I don’t want Kamala Harris to have the power as vice president to overturn that election,” he said. “That is the same thing that I concluded in January of 2021.”
Mr. Pence scored headlines last week after delivering remarks before the Federalist Society in which he said, “President Trump is wrong.
“I had no right to overturn the election,” Mr. Pence said.

What if she claims that clear evidence of systemic voter suppression led to Republican wins in Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina and because of that she is seating the Democrat Slate of Electors instead of the Republican one and giving those states, and the win, to Biden? If Pence had the power to kick a slate of electors back to the states then what says Harris couldn't just seat an alternate slate instead? What prevents it?
Furthermore, if Trump runs in 2024, and wins, does anyone think they're just going to let him waltz back into the White House?
Hell no!
The Left will put up a fight of the likes that we've never seen and pull out every stop they can think of to deny him the presidency.
“Rubio is an idiot”
thanks, succinct
Sure, the votes were rigged; but our founding fathers never envisioned giving the Vice President the power to remedy this.
This is the first I’ve heard of this. Could you cite some of their contemporary writings to support this assertion?
The population of the U.S. exceeded a million people in 1790, but George Washington only got something like 28,000 popular votes in the 1792 election.
Then, and this is important for Pence apologists, especially knowing that he certified an unconstitutional vote, you tell him to STFU when tells us how bold he stood on 1/6/21.
I don’t believe I was addressing you. But, thanks for playing.
That is exactly what his duty was.
Not to choose but to verify.
He failed miserably.
A real genuine cowardly Prick!
Micro Rubio is being too smart by half.
He should get back to his foam parties and leave governance to true Patriots.
1. There is no provision of the U.S. Constitution that allows electoral votes to be “decertified” after the date established by Congress for the electors to convene.
2. Giving courts the authority to determine the outcome of a presidential election is even worse than having Congress simply do it themselves.
Stupid, compromised, twerp!
Is Rubio really that stupid?
Pennsylvania can undo its certification, regardless of legal significance. Let the courts determine a remedy. What can’t stand is for fraud politicians, and their weak acolytes, to continue pushing out the Big Lie that 11/3/20 was uneventful. It was unconstitutional.
He was either Born Stupid or he takes a pill everyday to get this way
One of the most relevant responses.
