Vance Calls Democrats ‘Threat to Democracy’ After Biden Drops Out

Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance called President Joe Biden’s departure from the 2024 race a “threat to democracy,” using the same rhetoric he decried just days ago, following the assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

“What is going on in this country is absolutely disgraceful,” he said Monday in Middletown, Ohio, during his first solo rally since being named Trump’s running mate last week, adding that Democratic party leaders pressuring Biden to step down is an “insult to voters.”

Vance, following the shooting at a Trump rally earlier this month, was quick to blame Democrats for the violence, saying their comments calling Trump a threat to the country instigated the attack.
