Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), who is rumored to be vying for former President Donald Trump’s running mate, has joined Donald Trump Jr.’s campaign. It was a trigger Thursday interview podcast.
Vance, who appeared in court with Trump on Monday, spoke to Trump Jr. about the “absurd” business records lawsuit against the 45th president and the benefits that “election interference” would bring to Biden by keeping Trump off the campaign trail. I spoke with Mr.
Even the most left-wing partisans know this is not about justice. This is about getting Donald Trump.
Even anti-Trump haters hate this incident because it’s so obviously bogus. This is because it reinforces the public’s perception that this is all a witch hunt. pic.twitter.com/m9vL6lBaWX

At one point, Vance recalled being in the CNN waiting room after Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump. He said anti-Trump protesters in the audience felt it gave credence to the witch-hunt claims and were angry at Bragg for filing the “ridiculous” lawsuit.
Almost everyone else in that room was anti-Trump and they were angry at Alvin Bragg, and why were they angry at Alvin Bragg? Because the incident was so ridiculous that they thought it actually increased the “this is all a witch hunt” argument. This is all to get Donald Trump. This is not about justice. ” So they were actively angry at Alvin Bragg for being such an idiot and filing this lawsuit.
Vance noted that the media has focused intensely on the New York case since the lawsuits against Trump at the federal level and in Georgia “collapsed.”
“I want to talk to these people and say, ‘You guys realized a few months ago that this is bullshit, right?’ And to Don, and to CNN’s credit, some of the People recognize that this is absurd,” Vance added.
The senator also noted that Biden has an advantage because Trump is tied up in a Manhattan courtroom three to four times a week.

“You can see how advantageous it is for Joe Biden to keep Donald Trump in court three to four days a week. He gets one day to raise money, one day to talk to voters. …This is election interference.” pic.twitter.com/gGyeBlf8M1

“You’re going to see what an incredible advantage it is for Joe Biden to keep the opposition leader locked up in this courtroom three or four days a week,” he said.
“He has days where he goes out and does fundraising, and he has days where he goes out and engages with voters and really builds enthusiasm,” Vance added.
Mr. Vance argued that the trial had “two purposes”: one to inflict “mental torture” on Mr. Trump and the other to “subvert the election.”
“Here’s the truth. That’s what it’s been all about from the beginning,” he said, adding that it “backfired.”
Notably, the case is coming to a conclusion and closing arguments could be heard as early as Tuesday.
