Part of what brought Vance to the dance may be his undoing. Donors are scared of him.
, given Trump’s well-documented aversions to facial hair—Ivy League author may end up hoist by his own petard. The best thing Vance has going for him in the Trump veepstakes, among the base, may also be his undoing as a potential running mate—some donors are scared of him.
One of Trump’s co-campaign managers is perceived among the donor crowd as playing favorites with Vance, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. Cheung also described “anyone who thinks otherwise” as “obviously out of the loop and has no idea what is actually going on. He also described the Republicans in contact with donors as “bottom-feeding parasites” who “do nothing more than to leech of drama and fake news because they have to disassociate themselves from their sad, miserable existence.”
More recently, the concerns around Vance have shifted among the so-called smart-money crowd from foreign policy to other realms.“J.D. Vance is a guy who wrote a book and helped with a Netflix show,” the strategist said. The source said the most common qualms with Vance among donors are around his lack of Senate experience—just two years—as well as a lack of business experience.
Among a certain type of donor, “it’s like, not only does he lack the experience… there was a wide set of DeWine-Ryan voters who did not want J.D. Vance,” the strategist relaying the Vance concerns said.
