OVER ARIZONA — JD Vance is downplaying how rocky his first days as the Republican vice presidential nominee have been, and he insists he still has the support of the person who matters most.
“Look, it’s the same thing they did to Dick Cheney, the same thing they did to Mike Pence,” the Ohio senator said in an interview with NOTUS on his plane between campaign stops on Wednesday. “I think that any Republican who comes out of the gate as the new VP nominee is gonna get attacked. I have no doubt that the president is confident in the way that I’ve been doing things.”
“We have a good relationship,” Vance said of his tie to Donald Trump, “and that will keep on going through all the way to November, hopefully past that too.”
