California Assemblymember Bill Essayli , one of the Legislature’s most outspoken conservative voices, said Vance will be a “loyal” vice president to Trump. Trump’s first vice president, Mike Pence, has been largely shunned in the Republican party since refusing on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump’s calls to overturn the 2020 election results. Vance hashe would have acted differently than Pence on Jan.
“He’s been very loyal to the president. I think it is very important, considering everything the president’s going to be under again. I mean, they tried to impeach him twice, charged him with cases. So you need someone who’s going to be extremely loyal to the president. I think JD is the man for that job,” Essayli said.
Vance’s Silicon Valley background and political turnaround, from Trump critic to MAGA champion, doesn’t seem to bother Trump supporters. Delegate Keith Koo, of Fremont, said Vance both understands the tech community and middle America. And Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a GOP delegate and outspoken conservative, called Vance “an American hero.”“He absolutely loves his country.
