Trump’s VP pick JD Vance faces West test as campaign swings into high gear
Las Vegas is the place to be this week as all eyes are on Donald Trump’s big bet on Sen. JD Vance. The Ohio Republican, who has had a bumpy start as Trump’s running mate, is embarking on a campaign swing through the West, starting near the Las Vegas Strip.
Vance’s journey will take him from Henderson to Reno, California, and Arizona, with a stop at the U.S.-Mexico border to address immigration issues. This campaign swing is a chance for Vance to move past the recent scrutiny over his past remarks and solidify his position as Trump’s running mate.
Despite the rocky start, Vance is starting to find his footing on the campaign trail. His recent speech in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where he aggressively attacked Vice President Kamala Harris, was seen as a turning point. Vance’s role as the policy attack dog on Harris is becoming clearer, and he is gaining support among influential right-wing figures.
As Vance works to define himself on the campaign trail, he is facing attacks from Harris and her allies who are seeking to paint him as “weird.” But Vance and his supporters are pushing back, emphasizing his stance on family values and portraying Harris as the real odd one.
With Trump coming to Vance’s defense and the campaign gaining momentum, all eyes are on this unlikely pairing as they strive to win over the Republican Party and expand their support base. Stay tuned as Vance’s campaign unfolds in the coming days, and see if he can rise above the challenges and emerge as a formidable contender in the 2024 election.
