This time, JD Vance didn’t dodge the question: “Did Donald Trump lose the election in 2020? Not by the words that I would use.”
Vance has been repeatedly asked in recent weeks if he thinks his running mate lost the 2020 election, and he usually evades answering, instead saying he’s focused on the future or describing his issues with how the 2020 election was conducted. But in a press conference during a rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, he unequivocally said, “No.”
“On the election of 2020 I’ve answered this question directly a million times. No. I think there were serious problems in 2020,” Vance said, when asked by a reporter what message his indirect answers to the 2020 election results sends to independent voters.
