During the vice presidential debate, Vance similarly refused to answer if he would contest this year’s election if Trump loses
Senator JD Vance repeated a tired Republican lie from 2020 — that Donald Trump actually won the election, despite all evidence to the contrary — and then doubled down on it during a recent recorded encounter.
On Thursday, comedian Jason Selvig posted a clip of an interaction he had with Vance on X. During their brief encounter, Selvig repeatedly asked Vance if Trump won in 2020. The settled issue of who won the 2020 election came up again after Vance told viewers who tuned into Tuesday’s vice presidential debate that he would have helped Trump carry out his “alternative electors” scheme to maintain power in the White House.
“Who won the 2020 election? Could you just answer? Did Donald Trump win?” Selvig asked.
“Yes,” Vance replied.

So that’s why he wouldn’t answer it during the debate
I mean, Walz outright called him out on it.
The only reason trump allowed vance to be his VP (aside from all the ties to right wing tech billionairres…) is that he has committed to not having a spine. pence had a spine for all of one day and did his job and obeyed the will of the people. vance obeys the will of trump and knows he will be fired (if not given some Novichok) should he turn from that.
I mean, was there any doubt?
Never, but it’s nice to actually have him say it out loud.
