Biden campaign revs up criticism of Vance before convention speech

MILWAUKEE — President Joe Biden‘s campaign is trying to start defining Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance (R-OH) before he officially accepts the GOP’s nomination at the party’s convention in Milwaukee.

Vance is scheduled to address the Republican National Convention Wednesday night, and Democrats are already going on the offensive against his place on former President Donald Trump‘s ticket. During a Biden campaign press conference down the road from Fiserv Forum, Quentin Fulks, deputy campaign manager, repeated that Trump picked Vance “because he would bend over backwards” for him and would help the former president expand his MAGA agenda “no matter the harm to the American people.”
