Trump taps Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance for VP.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Former President Donald Trump announced that Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance will be his vice presidential pick for the 2024 election, ending months of speculation and buildup.
He made the announcement on Truth Social Monday afternoon, shortly before the official RNC nomination. Trump won the nomination for president at around 3:20 p.m. ET.
“After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, ‘Hillbilly Elegy,’ became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country,” Trump said.
“J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond,” he concluded.
Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin are the three “Blue Wall” states he tore down in 2016, but were re-gained by President Joe Biden in 2020. They are pivotal for both presidential prospects this season.
Trump holds leads in all three, most broadly in Pennsylvania, but more narrowly in Wisconsin and Michigan, according to RealClearPolling.
Vance was the betting favorite leading up to the decision.
A campaign official told Florida’s Voice that Trump’s pick will appear in-person at 4:37 p.m. ET, as the nomination process for the GOP begins.

 

Byron Donalds (R-FL) is still my first choice.

 

MSNBC Airs Threat To Possible Trump Veeps: You Could End Up Being Executed!

(You need to go to the link and watch the 3 1/2 minute clip of the talking MSPCP heads losing their minds over how Trump is speaking about his possible VP picks.)

The liberal media isn't waiting for Donald Trump to announce his running mate before going on the attack. MSNBC has aired a pre-emptive strike on all the potential VP candidates. And not only did it contain a vitriolic denunciation of them, but it also included a not-so-veiled threat of the most ominous sort.
Tara Setmayer, a former Republican congressional staffer turned member of the disgraced Lincoln Project, was a guest on Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend. Here's how she vilified the people whose names are apparently in the running as Trump's running mate:
"They're despicable hypocrites. These are the worst people, because Donald Trump couldn't become who he has become, the malignancy of Trump could not have spread like this without the enablers.
"Plain and simple: these are Vichy Republicans. And for the historians out there, they will appreciate what happened to the Vichys during World War II."
"What happened to the Vichys?"
Readers will recall that during WWII, the Vichys were established in France as a puppet government of Nazi Germany. They were a government of Hitler collaborators.  And, to answer Setmayer, "what happened" to the Vichys? When the war ended, more than 10,000 were executed.
So Setmayer was sending a chilling threat to the potential VP candidates and anyone else who might "collaborate" with Trump: you might meet the same fate as the French collaborators with the Nazis!
And the liberal media denounces Trump's alleged disregard for the rule of law and threats against opponents?
Note: This wasn't the first time we've caught Setmayer jumping ugly against Republicans. Last year, when Ron DeSantis was riding high as a potential Republican presidential candidate, we noted Setmayer attacking his wife Casey as a "Serena Waterford wannabe."
As we wrote at the time:
"Waterford is the character from The Handmaid's Tale who has been described, in a website about screen villains, as "the cruel, fanatically religious wife of Fred Waterford, the dictator of Gilead."
Setmayer did stop short of recommending Vichy-collaborator treatment for Casey DeSantis.
