Byron York cited former President Donald Trump’s four years in office for why his 2024 running mate is able to perform well in interviews, as it allows Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) to reference what Trump did in the past.

Vance, who was selected by Trump as his vice presidential nominee on July 15, had only been a senator for 18 months when he was picked by the former president, and it “took him awhile” to get his footing as Trump’s running mate. Since then, York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, argued that Vance is definitely “getting better” in his new role in the Trump campaign.
