Buttigieg firmly stated, "It's wrong, Donald Trump lost, and I think he knows that, I think he's lying." He emphasized that denying the election results is politically detrimental, noting, "voters have a dim view of election deniers." He added that candidates like Vance will face setbacks, as seen in outcomes from the 2022 elections where election deniers often lost. Buttigieg characterized Vance's position as "shameful" and indicative of a broader political mistake as elections approach.
Vance, on a separate occasion, stated, "I've answered this question a million times," despite having avoided directly addressing whether Trump lost the election. This suggests a lack of transparency in his views. Buttigieg's critique of Vance revolved around the idea that such obfuscation and denial of clear electoral outcomes do not resonate well with voters looking for honesty in political representation.
