There was a time when anyone auditioning to be Donald Trump<\/strong>\u2019s next vice president<\/a> understood the unspoken but clearly crucial condition for even being considered: claiming the 2020 election had been stolen. Then, last month, GOP representative Elise Stefanik<\/strong> upped the ante by not just denying the results of the election, but declaring<\/a> that if she had been VP at the time, she \u201cwould not have done what Mike Pence<\/strong> did,\u201d i.e., follow the law. And now, Byron Donalds<\/strong>\u2014who, like Stefanik<\/a>, is said to be on the VP short list<\/a>\u2014has taken things yet a step further.\\<\/p>\n Speaking at an Axios<\/a> event on Thursday, the Florida congressman suggested that, should he be added to Trump\u2019s ticket and should the duo win in November, he\u2019d be willing to block the results of the 2028<\/em> election. \u201cIf you have state officials who are violating the election law in their states…then no, I would not,\u201d Donalds said when asked if he would certify the 2028 results if he were VP.<\/p>\n Obviously, we have no idea who will be on the ballot in 2028. Maybe the winning candidate will be someone Trump likes and, in this theoretical scenario, there\u2019ll be no need for Donalds to violate the Constitution. Or maybe, as was the case in 2020, Trump will be unhappy with the results. Only this time, he\u2019ll have a VP willing to break the law for him. It\u2019s not hard to imagine, making Donalds\u2019 answer extremely unnerving.*<\/p>\n *As is the scenario in which an emboldened Trump decides he shouldn\u2019t be limited to two terms, and enlists the help of handpicked loyalists like the congressman to keep him in power!<\/em><\/p>\n Team Trump\u2019s attempt to discredit Fani Willis does not appear to be going great<\/strong><\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Do they, though?
