During an hour-long interview with the New York Times, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance declined to directly answer whether he believes former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. The host of the interview repeatedly asked Vance if he thought Trump lost the election, to which Vance responded by stating that both he and Trump have raised concerns about the election but are focused on the future.
Vance emphasized that he is more concerned about issues such as border security and rising grocery prices rather than dwelling on the outcome of the 2020 election. When pressed for a direct answer on whether Trump lost, Vance redirected the conversation to the alleged censorship of the Hunter Biden laptop story by big technology companies, which he claimed may have cost Trump millions of votes.
Despite being asked multiple times to provide a clear answer, Vance continued to deflect the question and insisted that the focus should be on other issues rather than the election results. He accused the interviewer of repeating slogans and avoiding engaging with his responses.
The exchange highlights the ongoing debate within the Republican Party regarding the outcome of the 2020 election and the influence of technology companies on political discourse. Vance's reluctance to acknowledge Trump's loss reflects a broader trend among some Republicans who continue to question the legitimacy of the election results.
