Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio said Wednesday he would be bummed out if former President Donald Trump did not tap him as his running mate.
Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, speaks at a press conference across the street from the Manhattan criminal court, Monday, May 13, 2024, in New York. Trump was accompanied to court Monday by some of his top congressional surrogates, including U.S. Sens. …“You know, I’m human, right?” Mr. Vance said. “And so when you know this thing’s a possibility, if it doesn’t happen, there’s certainly going to be a little bit of disappointment.
In the interview, Mr. Vance said he suspects Democrats “fear” him because his blue-collar roots shield him from their nonstop attempts to paint Republicans as hostile toward the working-class and poor Americans. Ashley Etienne, a former spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris, told CNN this year that Mr. Vance “would pose the greatest threat” to her former boss in a debate.
Mr. Vance made it clear Wednesday that he welcomes the opportunity to debate Ms. Harris, saying Americans respond to elected officials who speak from the heart — not those who rely on hollow talking points.
