This statement is in contrast to Vance's usual silence on the topic.

The Republican vice-presidential nominee earlier made headlines when, during the debate with Democratic Party vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz, he sidestepped the question on 2020 election results and said he was focused on "the future".

JD Vance has finally broken his silence over whether his running mate Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

After weeks of staying mum on the issue, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance said on Wednesday (Oct 16) that he unequivocally believes Trump's claims that he did not lose the election.

Despite it being unequivocally proven that the 2020 election results were not rigged, Trump continues to reiterate false claims about voter fraud and that he won the election.

His views are shared by millions of his hardline supporters, some of which in the aftermath of the election result declaration even rallied on Capitol Hill on Jan 6, 2021.

'Serious problem in 2020' Vance
Vance, who was appearing at a campaign event in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, was asked by reporters if the former president lost to Joe Biden four years ago.

To this, Vance replied, "On the election of 2020, I've answered this question directly a million times. No! I think there are serious problems in 2020."

"So, did Donald Trump lose the election in 2020? Not by the words that I would use," he remarked.

This statement is in contrast to Vance's usual silence on the topic.

The Republican vice-presidential nominee earlier made headlines when, during the debate with Democratic Party vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz, he sidestepped the question on 2020 election results and said he was focused on "the future".

To which his contender rebuked him "That's a damning non-answer".

In Williamsport, Vance also defended his statement by saying he was not espousing "some crazy conspiracy theory" by arguing that Trump won.

Instead, he blamed alleged online censorship by big tech companies for the election result.
