Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance expressed his belief that former President Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 presidential election, according to ABC News.

During a campaign event in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, a reporter questioned Vance about the implications of not directly answering whether Trump lost in 2020. Vance responded, "I've addressed this question directly countless times. No, I believe there were significant issues with the 2020 election. So did Donald Trump lose the election? That's not the terminology I would use."

He added, "Honestly, I couldn’t care less if you agree or disagree with my perspective on this matter."

In previous statements regarding Trump’s 2020 election loss, Vance had been less forthcoming, simply stating, "Yeah, I do," when asked if he believed the election was stolen.

Despite the official outcome declaring President Joe Biden the winner by over 7 million votes, many Republicans continue to promote the narrative of election fraud.

Vance also addressed concerns from voters, saying, "I occasionally hear from people who express distrust in those counting our ballots and say they won't vote because of that. That's the exact wrong attitude to have."

He emphasized, "What many people may not realize is that in local elections, the individuals counting your ballots are often your neighbors. In small and rural areas, it’s your community members who are responsible for tallying these votes."
