Some Republicans in the House of Representatives criticize former President Trump's selection of Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate. They believe this choice will not help, and may even harm, the party's chances of winning in November, according to The Hill.
Several Republicans have expressed concern about Vance's foreign policy positions, lack of experience, and inability to expand the Republican coalition beyond Trump's base.
The agency noted that there are many supporters of Vance at the House Republican Conference, especially hard-line conservatives, including members of the House Freedom Caucus who favor the populist America First viewpoint supported by the vice-presidential candidate. The Trump campaign vigorously defends this choice.
Meanwhile, Republicans who spoke to The Hill on condition of anonymity, including veteran lawmakers, moderates, and Reagan-style conservatives who support a strong foreign policy, said that many more of their colleagues have doubts about Vance.
“He was the worst choice of all the options. It was so bad I didn’t even think it was possible. Anti-Ukraine, more of a populist. He adds nothing to the Trump ticket. He energizes the same people that love Trump,” said one of the Republicans in the House of Representatives.
Another Republican stated that 9 out of 10 people would say Trump made the wrong choice.
We reported who J.D. Vance is, whom Trump chose as his running mate, and what he said about Ukraine.
