BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): The one issue where I think that Tim Walz may have scored some points, particularly late in the debate, was on the issue of January 6th. Now, again, this issue is basically that issue. I don't think that many Americans are sitting around thinking about 2020 and January 6th or any of it.

However, one of the problems that JD Vance has to shoulder when it comes to debate situations like this is because the person who is his running mate has said over and over and over that he did not lose in 2020, JD, who I think knows that Donald Trump lost in 2020, is forced to not just say the obvious thing. The obvious thing is, yes, Donald Trump legally lost. By the laws of the United States, he lost, which is why he left office. I can have questions about it. Those questions became irrelevant the minute that Donald Trump lost the election. The state votes were certified by Congress in a legal process, and then he left. Right? But because Donald Trump doesn't wanna hear that from JD Vance, JD is forced into the bizarre position of having to misdirect.
