Some Republicans are starting to seriously regret Donald Trump’s vice presidential nominee, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance.
It’s been only one week since Vance was nominated at the Republican National Convention, and already his own party members are expressing severe doubts about Trump’s pick. The former president’s allies have acknowledged that nominating Vance was the product of Trump’s absolute certainty that he would be able to defeat Joe Biden in November. While Vance wouldn’t do much for swing voters or independents, he would likely shore up support among Trump’s base.
But ever since Biden passed the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s new presumptive nominee, Republicans have begun to sour on Vance.
“The road got a lot harder. He was the only pick that wasn’t the safe pick. And I think everyone has now realized that,” one House Republican told Axios Thursday, under the condition of anonymity.
Another House Republican told Axios that Vance “doesn’t add much.”
You know, Vance was picked on July 15, and Joe dropped out on July 21. Is it possible that the Dems intentionally held off on the news that Joe would be dropping out so that the Reps would fumble the bag this hard on their VP pick? Or is it more likely that Donald made the mistake of listening to his incredibly stupid sons when they told him to go with Vance?
Porque no los dos?
I assume Trump’s only criteria was whoever swore the hardest that they wouldn’t interfere with his next insurrection
Correct, he picked the one guy who did not try to stop him from putting the fork in the electric socket
