On Thursday, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (R) told Fox News that he’s been surprised by the consideration for Trump’s running mate.
Vance appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss a recent report that the Ohio senator allegedly has made it onto Trump’s shortlist pick for his running mate. Fox host Laura Ingraham questioned Vance on his thoughts regarding the speculations.
“Well, Laura, I’ve actually never spoken to the president about VP speculation. My simple answer is, I want to help him however I can. If he asked me, of course I would think seriously about it. It would be a great honor. I also am happy to support the agenda in the United States Senate and regardless, Laura, you have to remember my job is to serve the people of Ohio,” Vance stated.
“Whether it’s supporting Trump’s agenda in the Senate or serving in some other role, we have got to bring good manufacturing jobs, good prosperity to the people of Ohio and the American heartland. For 40 years, we had a bipartisan consensus to ship jobs overseas to bring unchecked migration. Trump stopped that and the real question for the Republican Party is whether we follow that lead and double down on that winning agenda or do we try to go back to the old ways?”
“And, unfortunately, Laura, as you know as well as I do, there is a critical component of the old guard of the Republican Party that wants to go back to the old ways – more immigration, more war, less good wages for American workers. Thank God Trump is there to push back against it.”
Watch:
Along with Vance, reports have suggested that South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders could all be contenders for the former president.

JD would be a very good choice, he has really done a great job, he isn’t afraid to stand up and say what he thinks and believes.
He is also a businessman, and I don’t think he can be bought, like someone else from before.
