Potential vice presidential contender Sen. JD Vance said Sunday that he would "totally plan" to accept the 2024 presidential election results — if the election is "free and fair."

“If we have a free and fair election, I will accept the results,” Mr. Vance told CNN’s Dana Bash during an appearance on the show “ State of the Union .” Mr. Vance, 39, whom the Trump campaign has enlisted as a surrogate, signaled that Republicans were preparing for the prospect of election disputes.
