Republican vice-presidential candidate Vance said unequivocally on Wednesday he believes false claims that Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 US election.

Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for president in 2024, continues to falsely claim that he lost the 2020 election due to extensive voter fraud, a view shared by millions of his supporters. Numerous inquiries, however, have found no evidence of fraud.

His efforts to overturn the 2020 election led to his indictment by federal and state officials. He still awaits trial in those cases. His refusal to accept the outcome also sparked the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by thousands of his supporters.


During his current run for president, Trump has suggested he will challenge the results if he does not prevail in the Nov 5 contest against Democrat Kamala Harris, the US vice president.
