Vance adamantly denies that Trump lost the 2020 election

During the vice presidential debate, JD Vance, the Republican candidate, refused to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and downplayed the seriousness of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He declined to say whether he would challenge the results of this year’s election. Tim Walz, the Democratic candidate, criticized Vance for not acknowledging Trump’s loss and highlighted the importance of being honest about the attack on the Capitol. Vance focused on censorship on social media and compared Trump’s false election claims to protests against his 2016 win. He argued that censoring people who engage in misinformation is a bigger threat to democracy than anything seen in the last four years. Walz stressed the significance of addressing the events of Jan. 6 and described it as a threat to democracy. He pointed out that over 1,500 people have been charged in connection with the attack, with multiple convictions and prison sentences being handed out. The debate highlighted the stark differences between the candidates in their views on the events of Jan. 6 and the integrity of the election process.
