Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) defended former President Donald Trump against GOP warnings to refrain from personal attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris during remarks to the Milwaukee Police Association on Friday.

“I don’t think the president needs to pivot. And if I told him that, I can guess what he’d say,” Vance said to some laughter from the audience, when asked by a reporter. “I think that the reason that President Trump has been so successful connecting with Americans is even when they disagree with something that he might say, they know that he just is who he is, right?”
