‘Damning non-answer’: Vance refuses to acknowledge Trump lost the 2020 election

During the vice presidential debate, Republican nominee JD Vance refused to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and downplayed the seriousness of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He also declined to say whether he would challenge the results of this year’s election. Democratic nominee Gov. Tim Walz criticized Vance for not acknowledging the election results, emphasizing the importance of being honest about Jan. 6. Vance focused on discussing the future and defending Trump’s claims of election issues. The debate highlighted the stark differences between the candidates on issues such as the Capitol attack and election integrity.
