Republican Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) has dodged the question of whether he would be interested in becoming President Donald Trump’s running mate.
Scott, who is rumored to be in the running for Trump’s vice president pick, surprisingly refused to answer questions on the subject during an interview.
The senator, who ended his own 2024 presidential bid last year, was questioned about running with Trump during an appearance Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union.
During the interview, CNN host Dana Bash asked Scott if he would be interested in being Trump’s running mate.
“The only thing I want is four more years of Donald Trump, and a Republican majority in the Senate, majority in the House, and the White House, so that poor kids who are today growing up in neighborhoods like I grew up in, have a chance for quality education,” Scott, in part replied.
Obviously, Scott did not answer the question. Rather, he made the point that “If you don’t think about yourself but think about the country first, we’ll be in good shape.”
The non-answer prompted Bash to push a little further.
She said, “That wasn’t a no — that door is wide open, fair read?”
