(RepublicanNews.org) – Republican Sen. JD Vance is officially in the 2024 presidential race as former President Donald Trump’s running mate and he’s kicking off his campaign strong, already slamming Vice President Kamala Harris, who is the new presumptive nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and gave her his official blessing.
On Monday, July 24th, Vance held his second rally without Trump since the former president announced on July 15th that he would be the GOP vice presidential candidate. Just as Vance ascends to a running mate in the 2024 election, Harris suddenly ascends from running mate to the presidential candidate as Biden steps aside in what Vance and other Republicans believe was a coup.
Vance took shots at Harris at the rally, saying she would be “a million times worse” than the president, with whom Vance says Harris shares her record as second-in-command of the administration. The vice presidential hopeful reiterated that he doesn’t believe Biden to be fit to run for a second or “fit to serve as president.”
Since dropping out of the race, there’s been speculation that Biden may not last until the end of his term, and whether or not he should even be allowed to finish the term. The fact that disappearing for a few days before dropping out led to widespread rumors that he may have died shows how little confidence the American people have in his ability to serve.
Vance spoke in Radford, Virginia, a city at the heart of Appalachia, similar in culture and history to Vance’s hometown of Middletown, Ohio, where he held a rally hours before on the same day. One of the reasons Trump brought Vance onto the campaign was to appeal to this region and what is generally called the “Rust Belt,” consisting of once-great manufacturing hubs of the country that have declined over the decades.
Vance vowed to revive America as an economy of producers, vowing to cut back on overseas manufacturing and bring those jobs back to the U.S.
