VT: Phil Scott votes for Kamala Harris for president

BERLIN — Gov. Phil Scott has cast his ballot for Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

After keeping mum about his presidential pick for weeks leading up to Election Day, the Vermont Republican exited his local voting precinct in Berlin just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday and told reporters that he cast his ballot for Harris.

“I did some soul searching and thought about a lot of different things … and came to the conclusion that I had to put country over party … and vote for Kamala Harris,” Scott said.

It was a decision, the governor said, that he didn’t come to lightly or quickly. He said it’s “not an easy thing to do, being a Republican sitting governor and voting against your party’s nominee.”

He earlier endorsed Haley, after she said she would pardon Trump if elected. I guess he is the best of a bad lot. It would be great if Harris rewarded him with a cabinet spot and got him out of here, assuming Zuckerman -- our lt. governor -- gets reelected. He would make a good Secretary of Transportation, or SBA head.
