A comedian who spoofs politicians with broadcast news tactics got Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) to answer a crucial question he dodged at the vice presidential debate earlier this week, video shows.
Jason Selvig, of the comedy group The Good Liars, trailed former President Donald Trump's running mate with a mic in hand and demanded an answer about the 2020 presidential election in a new X video viewed more than 440,000 times
"Who won?" Selvig asked. "Just answer, did Donald Trump win?"
"Yes," Vance shot back.
"He did win?" Selvig asked again.
"Yep," Vance replied.
President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election and took office despite a nationwide effort orchestrated by Trump to challenge those results.

Trump now faces criminal charges in Washington D.C. federal court and Georgia state court linked to his actions in the lead up to the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021. He pleaded not guilty to election interference and racketeering.
Vance's surprising answer to this question was revealed two days after Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) asked the same question during their debate.
"Did he lose the 2020 election?" Walz asked.
"Tim, I'm focused on the future," Vance replied.
In the video released Thursday, Selvig asked Vance if he and Trump would concede the race if Harris secured the votes she needed to win.
"I really feel bad for you, man," Vance replied.
Said Selvig, "I just want to know."
