Vermont Business Magazine Phil Scott, governor of the State of Vermont, today issued the following statement from his personal email. Scott has hailed former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley in the past as a candidate he would support. In the last presidential election, the Republican Scott said he voted for Democrat Joe Biden. The New Hampshire primary is January 23.
“America has a decision to make, and our friends and neighbors in New Hampshire have an opportunity to showcase their deep-rooted independent streak.
“After years of controversy, violent rhetoric and growing polarization, the very last thing we need is four more years of Donald Trump.
“Our future is in jeopardy, and Americans deserve candidates with character and integrity, who respect the rule of law, the rights of all people, and the Constitution.
“In my view, the Republican Primary is now a two-person race. Governor Haley is our only chance to ensure America has the choice it deserves in November.
“Whether you're a Republican or independent, I encourage you to vote for Governor Haley in the Republican Primary.
“It is my sincere hope that the good people of New Hampshire will send a clear message. This is not the time for Republicans or independents to sit it out. It's time to move our country forward.”
