The Republican candidate for vice president seemed unwilling to face the facts while talking about the state of the Trump campaign during a Fox News appearance.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) seemed unwilling to give weight to Donald Trump’s wilting poll numbers while appearing on Fox News this Sunday.
The Republican vice presidential nominee dismissed the numbers during a conversation with Shannon Bream, telling the host of “Fox News Sunday” that polls were being used as a tool to discourage Republicans from voting in November.
“Consistently, what you’ve seen in 2016 and 2020 is that the media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters,” he said.
“I’m telling you, every single person who’s watching this, the Trump campaign is in a very, very good spot,” Vance added. “We’re going to win this race; we just have to run through the finish line.”
When confronted with new numbers from a New York Times/Siena poll, the senator said the surveys “tend to radically overstate Democrats.”
