U.S. Vice President JD Vance sharply criticized Democrats on Sunday, alleging they have “tried to rig the game for Democrats and against Republicans.”

“Thankfully, under President Trump's leadership, you finally see some spine. You finally see some backbone in the Republican Party to fight back against these very aggressive Democrat dirty tricks,” Vance said.

The vice president’s remarks come amid ongoing partisan battles over election laws, political investigations, and the 2024 campaign aftermath. Republican leaders have echoed similar sentiments, framing their efforts as a pushback against what they view as entrenched political bias.
