Trump’s current running mate said Pence “could have done more.”
Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance said he would have had states submit new electors instead of certifying the 2020 election results, his first time saying so since he was named to the ticket.
“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,” Vance said in an interview with the All-in Podcast on Monday, when asked multiple times what he would have done if he was in former Vice President Mike Pence’s position on Jan. 6, 2021.
When asked to clarify whether that means he would not certify the election results, he repeated that he would ask states to “submit alternative slates of electors.”
Vance had previously stated issues with the 2020 election results and said he would not certify the 2020 results before being tapped as Trump’s running mate in July. On Monday, he repeated some of his concerns with the 2020 election results — specifically with Pennsylvania — and said he believed that Pence should have done more.
“Mike Pence could have done more, whether you agree or disagree, Mike Pence could have done more to sort of surface some of the problems in the 2020 election,” Vance said.
There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice… https://t.co/8OVgVLh8Ol
