Also on the ballot were independents Kevin Hoyt and Eli "Poa" Mutino, and minor party candidate June Goodband.
Scott, in running for re-election this year, spotlighted that he would work to make Vermont more affordable and would push back against attempts by the Democrat-controlled legislature to increase taxes and fees.
The governor had clashed with state lawmakers over spending and initiatives, as he vetoed eight bills this past session. The legislature overrode six of those bills.
Scott, a moderate Republican, is a GOP critic of former President Trump.
