Former Sen. Claire McCaskill Says JD Vance Pick Proves 1 Thing About Him
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Former Sen. Claire McCaskill examined how GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s selection of Sen. JD Vance as his 2024 running mate reflects on Vance’s character. “I got news for everybody,” McCaskill told Wallace during a discussion about the first day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where Vance’s status as vice presidential candidate was confirmed. “I don’t know any Republican senators that believe that Donald Trump was a great president.” McCaskill noted how the so-called adults in the White House who tempered Trump’s worst instincts during his first administration wouldn’t be there during his second potential presidency. After all, McCaskill noted, Vance “has said that had he been the vice president, he wouldn’t have certified those electors” on Jan. 6, 2021, unlike then-Vice President Mike Pence, who chose democracy over his boss.
