The VP nominee has become a one-man cleanup crew for his running mate’s offensive and inexplicable rhetoric. “We’re all in this together,” Vance said recently, “and we’re all part of the same American family.”
Lately, Trump has doubled down on disturbing rhetoric about his political rivals, dubbing journalists and Democrats his sworn “enemies” and floating vague future punishments. Meanwhile, Vance struck much softer note at a town hall with NewsNation on Thursday, when asked how the winner of November’s election should approach the losing side. “We have to set the tone,” Vance said, without a trace of irony.
In recent weeks, for instance, Vance has attempted to explain Trump’s comments about Vice President Kamala Harris’s racial identity ; Trump’s repeat disparagement of Detroit ; and his threat to use the military against his political enemies . That role has apparently come at personal cost for Vance.
