Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Late. JD Vance (R-Ohio) says he agrees with former President Donald Trump that American voters will vote for the presidential candidate and not the vice presidential election.
“I think most people voted for Donald Trump or for Kamala Harris,” Vance added.Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan during an interview airing Sunday. “Donald Trump delivered rising wages and a secure border. Kamala Harris has delivered an open border and falling wages relative to inflation and food and housing and so on.”
Trump made the claim about the vice presidential pick during a Q&A with Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner at National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago at. July 31.
“Historically, the choice of a vice president doesn’t make a difference,” Trump said when asked if he thought Vance would be ready to take on the role of president one day.
The Ohio senator, whom Trump picked as his running mate on the GOP ticket, said most voters “when they cast their votes, they base it on who the presidential candidate is, not the vice presidential candidate.”
“It’s just blunt political reality. I think Donald Trump is right,” he added.
The full interview with JD Vance will air on “Face the Nation” Sunday, August 11 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time on CBS and streamed on Paramount+.
