Vance dodges question on 2020, saying Trump campaign is "focused on the future"
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance reiterated that he is focused on the future, not the past, when asked if he would describe the 2020 election as “rigged,” as former President Donald Trump falsely and repeatedly alleges.
“Bless your heart,” Vance said after the reporter was booed heavily by the Georgia crowd.
“First of all, we’re focused on the future in this election and in this campaign. If you look at what President Trump says, what I say, we are focused on the future every single day. Hardworking Americans are suffering because of Kamala Harris’s policies. It is a disaster,” Vance said.
He continued, “And I think it’s interesting that the American media wants to talk so much about 2020, and the reason they want to talk about 2020 is because they don’t want to talk about what happened afterwards.”
Remember: During the vice presidential debate this week, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz put Vance on the spot during a discussion of the January 6, 2021, insurrection and Trump’s false claims that he won the 2020 election.
“Did he lose the 2020 election?” Walz asked Vance, attempting to force the Ohio senator to acknowledge a reality that Trump himself won’t.
“Tim, I’m focused on the future,” was how Vance began his response.
“That is a damning nonanswer,” Walz shot back.
