The Republican running mate has previously sidestepped questions about whether he supports Trump’s false claims of voter fraud.
Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance has told a rally of supporters that he believes former United States President Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 election.
During a question-and-answer period with reporters in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, Vance was asked what kind of message he is sending to independent voters by not answering questions on whether he believes the results of the 2020 election.
Trump, Vance’s running mate and the Republican nominee for the 2024 race, has long maintained that his loss in 2020 to Democrat Joe Biden was the result of widespread voter fraud — a false claim.
Vance has sidestepped the question in the past but told reporters it is clear to him what happened in the last election.
“On the election of 2020, I’ve answered this question directly a million times: No. I think there were serious problems in 2020. So did Donald Trump lose the election? No, not by the words that I would use,” Vance told the Williamsport crowd.
