MADISON – U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson is not pledging to accept the result of the November presidential election, leaving a door open to objecting to the certification of election results — a scenario that prompted an attack on the U.S. Capitol four years ago when former President Donald Trump lost reelection.
Johnson told The Cap Times on Saturday he could not answer whether he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election, calling it an “impossible hypothetical.”
“We have to see exactly what happens,” Johnson said in an interview at the state Republican Party convention in Appleton. “If there are all kinds of abuses, we might have to start questioning those abuses, might have to investigate them. I certainly want to (accept the results).”
A spokeswoman for Johnson did not immediately answer questions early Sunday about what kind of events could push Johnson to seek an investigation.
