In recent months JD Vance‚ Ohios Senator and Donald Trumps running mate has been dodging questions about the 2020 election outcome. However at a rally in Pennsylvania on 10/16/24‚ he took a different approach
When asked about his previous non-answers Vance stated‚ “No. I think there were serious problems in 2020‚ So‚ did Donald Trump lose the election? Not by the words that I would use‚ OK?“ This marks a shift from his earlier stance of focusing on the future
During a debate with Tim Walz (the Democratic vice presidential nominee) earlier this month Vance avoided directly addressing the 2020 election issue. This evasion was seen as his weakest moment in the debate‚ with Walz calling it “a damning non-answer“. The Kamala Harris campaign quickly used this exchange in a TV ad
Trumps continued denial of his loss to Biden remains a widely-held belief among his supporters. At a recent Nevada event he warned‚ “We never want to have happen what happened in 2020.“ Heʼs also urged his base to turn out in large numbers for the upcoming election‚ claiming its necessary to make his vote tally “too big to rig“
Vances shift in stance aligns more closely with Trumps narrative and the beliefs of their core supporters. This change comes as the 2024 election approaches‚ with both campaigns intensifying their efforts to secure votes
