Vance Dodges Question About If He'd Overturn Election Result

LOADING ERROR LOADING Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance dodged a question at Tuesday’s debate on whether he would attempt to subvert the results of November’s election if given the chance ― just as he has said he would have done in 2020. Vance, you have said you would not have certified the last presidential election and would have asked the states to submit alternative electors,” CBS News moderator Norah O’Donnell said to Vance. “What President Trump has said is that there were problems in 2020, and my own belief is that we should fight about those issues, debate those issues, peacefully in the public square, and that’s all I’ve said and that’s all that Donald Trump has said,” Vance said of Trump’s election fraud claims that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol. Vance Has Said He Would Have Gone Along With Trump’s Plan Vance said Tuesday that, if he’d been vice president, he would have just wanted a peaceful debate over the election results. Yes,” Vance said during a podcast taping a few days ago, repeatedly refusing to say he would have certified the Electoral College results and adding that he would have “asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors.” Q: “Would you have certified the election?” JD Vance: “I would have asked the states to submit alternate slates of electors.” pic.twitter.com/uFyklF0xcM — Republican Voters Against Trump September 10, 2024 The “argument” Vance is talking about is Trump’s “big lie” that the election was stolen.
