During an interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro for her podcast "The Interview" on Thursday, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance refused on several occasions to admit that his running mate, Donald Trump, lost the 2020 presidential elections. "There's an obsession here with focusing on 2020," he said at one point, dodging the line of questioning "I'm much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide-open border, groceries that are unaffordable."

The discourse by Vance is part of a larger pattern by many GOP politicians who have repeatedly put into question Joe Biden's victory in 2020. The unfounded claims have also raised the stakes for the upcoming presidential elections, as the question of how Donald Trump would react to a potential Harris victory lingers.
