There is news in here.

In the immediate post-election period, while the defendant claimed fraud without proof,
his private operatives sought to create chaos, rather than seek clarity, at polling places where states
were continuing to tabulate votes. For example, on November 4, PS
-a Campaign employee,
agent, and co-conspirator of the defendant-tried to sow confusion when the ongoing vote count
at the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan, looked unfavorable for the defendant. There, when a colleague at the TCF Center told PS "We think [a batch of votes heavily in Biden's favor is] right,"!?
responded, "find a reason it isnt," "give me options to file litigation," and "even

Most of what was said at tonight's debate will be forgotten. But JD's refusal to state that Trump lost the 2020 election is a stunning soundbite that will haunt Trump/Vance for the rest of the campaign.

Walz may not have had strongest start, but gradually picked up steam and is finishing this debate as the clear winner.

In response to pointed question by Walz about who won in 2020, JD Vance still refuses to admit that Trump lost the election. Walz's facial expression in response was priceless. This was arguably the most important moment of the debate.
