Vance says voters see Harris as ‘more of the same’ instead of ‘fresh start’

Published August 18, 2024 4:45pm ET



Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) argued voters view a presidency under Vice President Kamala Harris as “more of the same” they experienced under President Joe Biden, and that voters will instead want to go back to former President Donald Trump’s leadership.

Vance, Trump’s 2024 running mate, argued that Harris’s campaign has experienced a “sugar high” since she stepped in for Biden as the Democratic Party’s 2024 nominee, citing the Trump campaign’s internal data that Harris’s support has “leveled off.” He contended that voters do not buy the idea of Harris addressing inflation as president, joking that Harris being in charge of inflation policy would be like Jeffrey Epstein being in charge of human trafficking policy.
