HuffPost
The former Democratic senator also busted one particular claim about Republican senators and GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.
Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) examined how GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s selection of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his 2024 running mate reflects on Vance’s character.
Vance has turned from being one of Trump’s fiercest critics to one of his staunchest supporters and now claims he didn’t realize how great a president he’d turn out to be, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace and McCaskill noted on Monday.
“I got news for everybody,” McCaskill told Wallace during a discussion about the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where Vance’s status as vice presidential candidate was confirmed.
“J.D. Vance doesn’t believe he was a great president,” she continued. “I don’t know any Republican senators that believe that Donald Trump was a great president.”
McCaskill noted how the so-called adults in the White House who tempered Trump’s worst instincts during his first administration wouldn’t be there during his second potential presidency.
