Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., speaks during a Republican presidential primary debate, Nov. 8, 2023, in Miami. Scott, a 2024 vice presidential contender for GOP frontrunner former President Donald Trump's ticket, is treading carefully on questions about whether he would have certified the 2020 election if he had been vice president at the time. Scott in a pair of Sunday, Feb. 18, television interviews, would not say if he would have acted differently than Vice President Mike Pence. (AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell, File)
