“We will see if this is a legal and valid election,” Stefanik, a member of House GOP leadership and a Donald Trump ally, said in an interview with “Meet the Press.”

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., on Sunday wouldn’t commit to certifying the 2024 election results during an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”

While interviewing Stefanik, who serves in House Republican leadership, host Kristen Welker asked, “Would you vote to certify, and will you vote to certify, the results of the 2024 election no matter what they show?”

Stefanik, who has boosted former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, said that she did not vote to certify the 2020 results in the state of Pennsylvania and several other states because there were “unconstitutional acts circumventing the state legislature and unilaterally changing election law.”

    A smart liar (e.g. the ones who didn’t end up in stories like this) would’ve just said yes and planned to do what they were going to do anyway. This is the low-hanging fruit.

      Right, but the point of her response was to tell Trump she is loyal and would make a good VP.

      At this point nobody in the GOP cares what the public thinks. They know GOP voters will vote for the Trump ticket no matter what. And Democrats will be the first against the wall after the election.

      So that leaves just one audience member.
