Something is out of context or not quite right with this report. Saying that Vance would not support mixed race marriage is ludicrous. He's in one.

[Kika]

Trump looks at all angles and the big picture. Interesting pick. The more I learn about JD the more I find him to be a very encompassing pick.

[IggyBing]

Ah, the guy who called Trump "America's Hitler" is now Trump's VP choice. LOL.

[joytrussell]

Read his book before you judge him. I’m so glad Trump picked him.

[PLRAHAPL]

I am not happy with this vp, there were far better choices than him. I don’t understand why would Trump want to work with guy like him.

[hood_TheJoker]

as someone who has no clue who he's voting for, this pick from Trump is a disappointment to say the least

[numlol]

I wonder how much Kamala would poll against Trump now

[augustbruce]

Did he really change----or is he the Trojan horse that eventually gives the establishment victory?

[archangelwarrior]

I always thought it would be Vivek i mean who cares about experience he is very intelligent and has his priorities right America first.

[bobschuster]

And prior to 2022 he was a never Trumper . Figure that one out !

[adriennecullen]

He's a wonderful person!!!! He will be a fantastic Vice President. 🎉

[foxopolos]

Can anyone  imagine JD Vance successfully assuming the role of President, if Trump became incapacitated? I can't! Good grief!!!!

[Nathan-tnql]

Literally give it like a month before Trump starts insulting him on live tv.

[jtisgr]

He's a terrible vp pick. I would of went with Vivek or Tulsi, but this makes zero sense

[ellenelder]

Why does there always have to be negative comments ALL the time. You should be happy that Trump has someone that has the same ideas to fix our country. It never stops all the

[Susieo-fdmd]

So happy President Trump chose him. I would've been happy with Dr. Ben Carson to!

[marysylvie]

Yale educated is not a good reference. I am strongly disappointed.

[florptytoo]

Next up will be Vice Presidents Dunce and Nonce.

[onelord]

Let me tell you Vivek is really smart ..Vivek hides the fact he knows JD's wife more than JD ...JD's Wife Usha and Vivek comes from same region in India also both went to Yale alongside JD ..JD was total Vivek's plan trust me

[brejaimecastillo]

Trump Sr didn't pick him. If you all read and listen to previous interviews. It was Jr. that lobbied for Vance and persuaded last minute he shpuld be vp. Something is off here....what kind of son would lobby for an individual that would berate his father. Something doesn't add up. Sr had such highly qualified candidates that endorsed and affirmed his policies. This guy is a yale graduate....one of the worst LEFT influenced and funded schools. it's not a virtue... I think. I think Vance and Jr have a plan behind Srs. back.
