Vance confronts upheaval and uncertainty in first 10 days as Trump’s running mate
CNN
Ohio Sen. JD Vance has faced a lot of upheaval since joining Donald Trump on the Republican ticket – more than perhaps any modern vice presidential nominee.
Minutes into his first solo event as Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance had already divided his hometown audience here – over donuts. While reconnecting with the locals in the crowd over shared memories and favored haunts, Vance posited taking his security detail to nearby Central Pastry Shop after his event. Amid laughter, stans of a rival donut shop shouted at the stage: “Milton’s!” The Ohio Republican, in damage control mode, offered to the dissenters, “I love Milton’s, too.” Crisis averted. Vance has already faced far greater upheaval than pastry debates since joining the Republican ticket – more than perhaps any modern vice presidential nominee. The political landscape Vance stepped into 10 days ago is no longer recognizable after President Joe Biden abruptly ended his campaign. The fallout has left him without a Democratic counterpart after Vice President Kamala Harris quickly emerged as her party’s presumptive nominee. It could be more than a week before Harris selects her running mate. “I was told I was going to get to debate Kamala Harris, and now President Trump’s going to get to debate her?” Vance joked Monday in the Middletown High School auditorium, surrounded by his wife and friendly faces from his childhood. “I’m kind of pissed off about that if I’m being honest with you.”
