In conversations with voters around 9 states over the past few weeks since the Vance vice presidential announcement, I have found a few surprises.
According to the conventional wisdom of the chattering class, Donald Trump’s selection of JD Vance for vice president has been an abject disaster that has the former president doubting his instincts. But the story on the campaign trail looks a little different, and the GOP may be forging a new funding base.
Time will have to tell what major impact, if any, Vance’s selection by Trump has on the final results in November, but from my perspective on the ground and looking at how the money is flowing, reports of it being a disastrous mistake seem way too early to be believed. Among GOP convention goers in Milwaukee there was a sense that the Vance pick showed a lot of confidence coming just days after the assassination attempt that some believed had profoundly shifted the race in favor of Trump.
