After dodging the issue for weeks, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance said unequivocally on Wednesday he believes false claims that Donald Trump did not lose the 2020 election.

Taking questions from reporters at a campaign event in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, Vance was again asked if Trump lost to U.S. President Joe Biden four years ago.

"On the election of 2020, I've answered this question directly a million times. No! I think there are serious problems in 2020,” Vance said. "So, did Donald Trump lose the election in 2020? Not by the words that I would use.”
