TRUMP Might DROP Vance
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that former President Donald Trump picking Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) as his running mate was “the best thing he ever did for Democrats.”
According to the New York Democrat, Trump could drop Vance from the GOP ticket.
The partial transcript is as follows:
Costa started, “Vice President Harris, is now the presumptive nominee. Senator, are you encouraging Senate Democrats, including those in battleground states, to invite her to campaign with them to have her in their advertisements?”
“Yeah, the Biden-Harris record is just incredible, as I mentioned, all the specific things that have been- that they have passed together working with us. So it’s an incredible record, and our senators are already talking about it. They’re, you know, cutting ribbons and new bridges, they’re bringing rural broadband, they’re bringing broadband to rural areas, they’re opening up new factories from chip fabs. So it’s a great, great record, and it’s helping our Senate candidates run on it. And let me just say one thing, just compare that to the Republican record to the Trump-Vance ticket.” Schumer responded.
He added, “It’s extreme, this Project 2025 shows that would take the rights away from women. It would take away the rights of working people and help only the very wealthy, it would even be a threat to our democracy. And one more point about this, and that is the addition of JD Vance to this ticket. It’s- it’s an incredibly bad choice. I think Donald Trump, I know him, and he’s probably sitting and watching the TV, and every day, Vance, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic.
Vance seems to be more erratic and more extreme than President Trump. And I’ll bet President Trump is sitting there scratching his head and wondering, why did I pick this guy? The choice may be one of the best things he ever did for Democrats.”
With only 10 days before the Ohio ballot is locked in, Schumer emphasized that Trump faces a crucial decision: retain Vance and his mounting baggage or choose a new running mate.
