Vivek Ramaswamy has a problem with how Mike Pence handled his duties on Jan. 6, but the Republican entrepreneur's alternate vision is a confusing mess.
Republican entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy didn’t address the issue during the debate, which is why I was glad to see Chuck Todd ask him about the matter on “Meet the Press.” NBC NewsRepublican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Sunday that he would have certified the results of the 2020 presidential election and that then-Vice President Mike Pence missed a “historic opportunity” to initiate changes on Jan 6, 2021.
“I would have done it very differently. I think that there was a historic opportunity that he missed, to reunite this country in that window,” Ramaswamy said. “What I would have said is: ‘This is a moment for a true national consensus where there’s two elements of what’s required for a functioning democracy in America. One is secure elections, and the second is a peaceful transfer of power. When those things come into conflict, that’s an opportunity for heroism.
“Here’s what I would have said: ‘We need single-day voting on Election Day, we need paper ballots, and we need government-issued ID matching the voter file.’ And if we achieve that, then we have achieved victory and we should not have any further complaint about election integrity. I would have driven it through the Senate,” he said.
