Rachel Maddow Says JD Vance Pick Shows 1 Thing About GOP Mindset
HuffPost
The MSNBC anchor explained former President Donald Trump's choice of the "out there" vice presidential candidate.
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Wednesday suggested that former President Donald Trump’s choice of Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his 2024 running mate proves one thing.
Namely, Republicans think they have the election in the bag.
Maddow highlighted some of Vance’s extremist stances, such as his endorsement of a national abortion ban or his comment about America being in a “late republican period.”
You “don’t choose a person like Vance” if you think you need to appeal to certain groups or think you need any help winning the election, she posited.
Otherwise, said Maddow, the GOP wouldn’t pick a candidate “as out there” as Vance.
