'Damning non-answer': Vance refuses to acknowledge Trump lost the 2020 election
Republican JD Vance dodged when asked to confirm Donald Trump lost in 2020 and whether he'll challenge the 2024 election results during the vice presidential debate.
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance refused to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election during the vice presidential debate Tuesday and downplayed the seriousness of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, which injured more than 140 law enforcement officers.
He also declined to say whether he would seek to challenge the results of this year's election.
Toward the end of the debate, Democratic vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz asked Vance, a senator from Ohio, to affirm that Trump lost the last election.
“Did he lose the 2020 election?” Walz asked.
"Tim, I'm focused on the future," Vance replied before he pivoted to press Walz about censorship on social media.
