Donald Trump has preemptively declared that Tuesday night’s VP debate will be “rigged” against JD Vance, a baseless claim that he has made before every debate during this election cycle. Which doesn’t say much about his confidence in his running mate!
In a Fox Nation interview that was, for some reason, conducted by former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, the ex-president said that he would personally “love to have two or three more debates” against Kamala Harris but “they’re so rigged and so stacked. You’ll see it tomorrow with JD. It’ll be stacked.”

There is, of course, no evidence whatsoever that any of the debates that Trump has participated in have been rigged against him, nor any evidence that tonight’s proceedings will be “stacked” against Vance. Rather, Trump has made these claims about previous debates because he’s incapable of admitting when he’s lost. Following his debate last month versus Harris, the former president whined about being fact-checked by the moderators and declared “everybody at ABC” should be fired. He also absurdly floated the idea that Harris received the debate questions ahead of time (which ABC News denied) and that her earrings were actually listening devices, saying, “I hear she got the questions, and I also heard she had something in the ear.”
At the same time, Trump also embarrassingly claimed he “won” the event, when he quite obviously did not. That probably had something to do with the fact that he spent the debate bragging about his relationship with right-wing authoritarians; refused to admit he lost the election; claimed—for not the first time—that Democrats think it’s okay to “execute” babies; rambled incoherently about “transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison”; and now famously declared, of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio: “They’re eating the dogs…they’re eating the cats.”
When spreading rumors that your opponent has “left Americans to drown” isn’t “politicizing” things
