Without evidence, the Republican vice presidential candidate tried to cast doubt on his opponentā€™s obvious momentum: ā€œIf you talk to insiders in the Kamala Harris campaign, theyā€™re very worried about where they areā€

Youā€™ve heardĀ Donald Trump cryĀ ā€œfakenewsā€ too many times to count, and now his running mate is claiming ā€” without evidence ā€” that the media is using ā€œfake pollsā€ to show Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris is in the lead in the presidential race.

In an interview onĀ Fox News Sunday, Sen.Ā J.D. Vance alleged that ā€œThe media uses fake polls to drive down Republican turnout and to create dissension and conflict with Republican voters.ā€

      Sadly this led to January 6th as the MAGAts ā€œcouldnā€™t believeā€ that Trump lost. Iā€™d like people to start accepting reality ASAP, ideally, before our next insurrection election.

      Itā€™s beautifully counter productive because if they convince their base itā€™ll be a cake walk GOP turnout will dip.

      Keep denying it JD!
