Fox News cuts away from J.D. Vance rally after he refuses to say Trump lost in 2020
Fox News abruptly ended its broadcast of Sen. J.D. Vance's (R-OH) rally in Michigan after he refused to admit that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
At a Wednesday rally in Auburn Hills, Vance was asked why he dodged a question about the 2020 election at Tuesday night's vice presidential debate.
"Why didn't you answer the question last night during the debate about who won the 2020 presidential election?" Local 4 reporter Will Jones asked.
"Well, look, here's the simple reason," Vance replied. "The media is obsessed with talking about the election of four years ago."
"I'm focused on the election of 33 days from now because I want to throw Kamala Harris out of office and get back to common sense economic policies," he continued. "But I also think you can believe that America needs to have secure and free elections, but also talk about the fact that just a couple of weeks ago, Democrats in the U.S. Congress blocked a piece of legislation that would have ensured illegal aliens don't vote in our elections.
"So we're going to talk about election integrity because I believe that every vote ought to count, but only the legally cast votes."

After that remark, Fox News host Martha MacCallum took control of the broadcast.
"And that is Auburn Hills, Michigan. And you're watching the vice presidential GOP candidate speaking," she said before moving on.
Fox News last year reached a $787 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over false claims that the company was involved in election fraud.
