  • He made stops in Pennsylvania and North Carolina recently and will travel to Georgia next week in support of Harris

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Martha Raddatz asked, “Why won’t you say that?”

“Because Martha, I believe that in 2020, when big tech firms were censoring American citizens, that created very serious problems,” Vance said.

Later, Beshear told Raddatz, “Apparently, there is no lie too big for Donald Trump and JD Vance. I mean, when you ask him about the last election, all you’re asking him to do is admit reality.”

Last week, Trump attacked Harris following her appearance on ABC’s “The View,” when she initially couldn’t name one thing she would have done differently than President Joe Biden.

She later said she’d appoint a Republican to her Cabinet, if elected.

In his “This Week” appearance, Beshear made a distinction between Biden and Harris.

“President Biden’s plans were about building a future economy that is happening right now,” Beshear said. “We’re building the two biggest battery plants on planet Earth in Kentucky … But hers are about right now. How do we help the American people that are struggling to pay the bills?”

Beshear also delivered a primetime address at the Democratic National Convention, and his political action committee has endorsed Democrats in close Senate races around the country. 

He made stops in Pennsylvania and North Carolina recently and will travel to Georgia next week in support of Harris, according to the governor’s team.
