Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), officially became a 2020 election denier Wednesday, a fact Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized as “shameful” and a political mistake.
“First of all it's wrong, of course Donald Trump lost,” Buttigieg told CNN anchor Erin Burnett on Wednesday night. “And I think he knows that. I think he's lying. I also think it's a mistake politically because voters have a dim view of election deniers.”
Buttigieg, who appeared on “OutFront” in his official capacity as a Harris surrogate, noted Vance has tried “to avoid officially becoming an election denier” until Wednesday when he gave a definitive answer repeating Trump’s false claim that the former president did not lose the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
“Now that he's given a straight answer, he J.D. Vance, is officially on the record as an election denier, something that is shameful, but also something that if – certainly if we look at 2022 – and, pretty much anybody who was an election denier who was on the ballot in so many swing state statewide races, lost,” Buttigieg said.
