Vance Basically Says He Would Have Helped Trump Overturn 2020 Election

J.D. Vance announced on Tuesday — the day before Trump is set to debate Kamala Harris — that he would have "allowed" states to submit new electors for the Electoral College in 2020, rather than accept the presidential election results as they actually came into Congress.

The statement is essentially Vance stating he would have played along with Trump's then-plan to overturn the results of the election, which he legitimately lost — a move that Trump's former VP, Mike Pence, rightly refused to do.

Said Vance, to Politico:

I would have asked the states to submit alternative slates of electors and let the country have the debate about what actually matters and what kind of an election that we had.

The country had a debate about it. It was the election.

And Trump lost. End of story.

So if Trump loses again, his VP running mate, this time, will try to help him upend democracy in the U.S. Just thought you all deserved that heads up...
