(PatriotNews.net) – The Biden campaign has fired back after former President Donald Trump announced his choice of Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as his vice-presidential pick.
In a statement, Biden campaign chairwoman Jen O’Malley Dillon explained why Trump picked Vance. She said Trump chose him because he will do what former Vice President Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6.
“Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people.”
She continued, saying that as Trump’s running mate, Vance will focus on pushing Trump’s Project 2025 agenda, hurting American families in the process. She added, “This is someone who supports banning abortion nationwide while criticizing exceptions for rape and incest survivors; railed against the Affordable Care Act, including its protections for millions with preexisting conditions; and has admitted he wouldn’t have certified the free and fair election in 2020.”
This response came after Trump posted his announcement on Truth Social, saying he picked Vance after careful thought. He praised Vance’s talents and qualifications, mentioning his military service, his graduation from Ohio State University and Yale Law School, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association.
Trump wrote, “After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio.”
Vance is also known for his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, which was turned into a movie.
The battle lines are clearly drawn with these statements, and it’s evident that the Biden campaign is gearing up for a tough fight ahead. With Vance on his side, Trump seems ready to push forward his controversial agenda, while Biden’s team is preparing to counter with all their might. The coming days will surely be interesting as both sides rally their supporters.
