Vance of Ohio has been a vocal ally of Trump, and at 39, would be one of the youngest vice presidents ever.
Vance long had been considered a top option for Trump, and the choice was announced only days after Trump escaped an assassin’s bullet during a Butler, Pennsylvania, rally.
Vance, over the weekend, blamed Democrats for the rhetoric, the atmosphere, and the political weaponization that Democrats have brought against Trump and resulted in the shooting.
The senator explained on social media:
The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.
Leftist publications immediately pointed out that the choice means:
[T]he Republican Party’s 2024 ticket [sic]
have neither a woman nor a person of color on it.
Wow, that’s right! Just think, the Republican Party is not seeking to mirror the Left—no DEI placeholder on the Republican ticket.
Kamala Harris—the DEI part of Dementia Joe’s ticket—is a woman, a person partly of color, an airhead who talks in rhyme, and has had zero impact on American policy and practice during her time as lady-in-waiting for Biden’s removal.
God speed to the Trump-Vance team.
