Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dakota said he won't commit to backing the GOP presidential nominee if it is not Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.
“Well, right now, I’m hoping it’s going to be Tim Scott,” he told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “And if it’s not, then I’m going to have to reassess, because I’ve always supported the Republican nominee in the past.”
Mr. Rounds downplayed the idea that his reluctance to commit to any GOP nominee is tied to former President Donald Trump’s legal issues. Mr. Rounds has criticized Mr. Trump’s comments on the 2020 election and chastised the ex-president for calling Jan. 6, 2021, a “beautiful day” during a CNN town hall.
