JD Vance, the vice-presidential nomination for the US and Donald Trump‘s running mate, has once more disputed the election’s victory by saying that President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election five times in an interview with the New York Times.
Ohio lawmaker Vance repeated the statement he made during his most recent conversation with Democrat vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz in his talk with Lulu Garcia-Navarro for the” The Interview” radio, saying,” There’s an addiction around with focusing on 2020. I’m little more concerned about what happened after 2020, which is a wide-open borders, foods that are unsustainable”.
Vance’s difficulty in saying whether the position of his running mate matches that of previous president Donald Trump who lost the 2020 election. Trump has consistently asserted that the election was” stolen” from him despite facing numerous charges related to his false allegations of voter fraud. But, election officials, judges, and yet Trump’s former attorney general have all debunked these claims.
During the hour-long meeting, Garcia-Navarro pressed Vance constantly on the matter, asking whether Trump lost the 2020 vote. Each day, Vance avoided the question, shifting the focus to his worries about repression by engineering firms. He claimed that the reduction of Hunter Biden’s laptop stories on social media sites had had an impact on the outcome of the vote, causing Trump to lose “millions of vote.”
” I’ve answered your question with another problem”, Vance responded when challenged. ” You answer my question and I’ll reply yours”. When Garcia-Navarro pointed out that there was” no proof, legal or otherwise”, of election fraud, Vance dismissed the statement as” a slogan”, as quoted by the Associated Press.
The vice-presidential nominee’s deceptive responses to questions in the meeting were consistent with Walz’s criticism of Vance’s defamatory remarks earlier this month.
In a later statement, Vance assured that he would support a peaceful transfer of power in 2024 if any disputes arise. He later acknowledged that he would n’t have certified the 2020 election results.
Democrats Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are gearing up and making final arrangements for the upcoming US presidential election, which is set to take place in November.
