Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio) made headlines on Wednesday by again sidestepping the question of whether former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. Speaking at a campaign event in Pennsylvania, Vance reiterated his stance, stating that Trump did not lose, at least "by the words that I would use," marking some of his most extensive comments yet on the contentious election results.

 

"First of all, on the election of 2020—I’ve answered this question directly, a million times—no," Vance said when asked by a reporter about the message his avoidance sends to independent voters. The reporter was pressing him on whether he could clearly say, "Did Donald Trump lose in 2020?" Vance responded, "I think there were serious problems in 2020. So did Donald Trump lose the election? Not by the words that I would use."

 

Vance went on to explain his perspective further. "Here’s the thing that I focus on—because what the media will do, they’ll focus on the court cases or they’ll focus on some crazy conspiracy theory," he remarked. "What I know, what verifiably I know happened is that in 2020, large technology companies censored Americans from talking about things like the Hunter Biden laptop story, and that had a major, major consequence on the election."

 

This response fits a pattern for Vance, who has largely avoided directly answering whether Trump was defeated in the 2020 election. Trump and many of his allies have consistently denied the legitimacy of the election results, baselessly claiming fraud or other irregularities occurred. Vance’s comments in Pennsylvania echoed his avoidance of the topic in a recent interview with *The New York Times*, where he also dodged answering whether Trump lost.

 

Following Vance’s comments on Wednesday, the Harris-Walz campaign swiftly responded, with spokesperson Matt Corridoni criticizing Vance’s stance. “There we have it—JD Vance finally admitted he denies the 2020 election results,” Corridoni said in a statement. “As Governor Walz said on the debate stage weeks ago, Donald Trump selected Vance for this exact reason—he knows Vance will be a loyal soldier in Trump’s pursuit for absolute, unchecked, limitless power.”

 

Vance's remarks reflect his ongoing reluctance to directly acknowledge the election's outcome, a position that continues to stir political tension, particularly as the nation looks toward the upcoming 2024 presidential race.

Even if he believes, like the vast majority of sensible people, that Trump not only lost the election, but lost it by 7 million popular votes, which was quite decisive, he would not say so, he's unwilling to say so out of fealty to his master, and this is just one of the reasons why he is completely unfit for the office of Vice President. 

 

 

Trump fatigue is peaking and may not survive at his age. This could be your next 47.

If that is not scary than your not yet awake.

You're linking to a Latino news source that points to an opinion piece in a San Antonio rag.

 

And you didn't even bother to link to the San Antonio rag...  Weak sauce.

 

I'd add that, had the FBI and the MSM not squelched the laptop story, Trump would be close to finishing his 2nd term.  So Vance is right.

Aww come on Mike obviously he’s a big pussey afraid of the big orange tabby he likely needs all the kittey litter he can find!on a serious note it’s beyond belief that our politics have sunk to the level of trump/vance just beyond belief.

    Total liar--just like Trump.  Ridiculous to boldly lie and say the 2020 election was swayed by the Hunter laptop, of all things.  What rot.   Trump lost by 7 million votes.  Nobody gave a rat's ass about the laptop and Hunter wasn't running for anything.   Scary this lying jerk could be a heart beat away from the presidency if dead man walking Trump wins.  

It beggars belief that some 60-70% of Republican voters are still convinced that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. So that’s a very good reason for Vance not willing to admit publicly that Trump lost. 
All these people live in la-la-land, of course, with their silly and ridiculous conspiracy theories.

Trump lost by 7 million votes!! Get over it already!!

Nice to read that you think that Trump could not win on his own merits, without smearing Biden! 😃

Kamala approved. Says VPs (by extension, candidates) aren't critical of their presidents (Trump):

 

Lied about Biden's cognitive decline, then lied that she didn't lie.🙂 'Course, if Biden was fine, then why should he be ousted in the coup and herself installed?

 

I’ve heard of candidates complaining about the accuracy of opponents ads but I’ve never heard anyone say a network shouldn’t be allowed to run them, and he wants a moratorium on ads critical of him for 21 days. I’m hoping he said this a while ago since the election is in less than 21 days.

 

Trump begging Fox is just perfect

Where did Hunter Biden's laptop go?

Surely someone made a copy of the contents?
