Democratic VP hopeful Tim Walz called his response a « damning non answer. »
In Tuesday’s vice presidential debate, Republican Sen. JD Vance refused to answer when asked directly if former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, and sidestepped other questions about election integrity.
Moderators asked Vance if he would, as vice president, “seek to challenge this year’s election results, even if every governor certifies the results. » They also asked about his past remarks on the 2020 election, particularly what he has said about asking states to “submit alternative electors” before certifying the election.
Vance dodged the questions, though, and said that he was “focused on the future” and that “censorship” was a bigger threat to democracy.
When Walz re-upped the matter, asking Vance, “Did Trump lose the 2020 election?” Vance replied that he was « focused on the future.
