HuffPost
The "Meet the Press" host tossed to a 2021 clip of Rubio before asking him if Donald Trump's claims are "undermining Americans' confidence in democracy."
“Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker questioned Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Sunday over accepting the results of the 2024 presidential election, an ask that’s led several Republicans to squirm away from replying “yes” in recent months.
“Will you accept the election results of 2024 no matter what happens, senator?” asked Welker in a question similar to one she hit Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) with last week.
“No matter what happens? No, if it’s an unfair election, I think it’s gonna be –,” replied Rubio, who is reportedly being eyed as former President Donald Trump’s 2024 running mate.
“No matter who wins. Senator, no matter who wins,” Welker interjected.
“Why don’t you – I think you’re asking the wrong person. The Democrats are the ones who opposed every Republican victory since 2000, every single one, it’s –,” Rubio claimed.
