The Biden campaign issued the statement after former President Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate.
Biden campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a press release: I have written Trump chose Vance as his “running vice presidential candidate” because he will “do what former Vice President Mike Pence did not do on January 6th.”
“Donald Trump chose J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence did not do on January 6th: do everything in his power to support Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and whatever harm it may cause to the American people.”
