Republican VP Nominee J.D. Vance Gains Support

Senator J.D. Vance, chosen as Donald Trump's running mate, faces varying perceptions among voters, with terms like 'good' and 'leader' emerging positively, despite Democratic criticism likening him to Trump. Vance has challenged President Joe Biden's credibility, questioning his fitness for office. Additionally, Vice President Kamala Harris raised concerns about Vance's loyalty to Trump over the country, highlighting potential support for Trump's election-overturning efforts. Republicans view Vance's background and relatability as strengths that could benefit the presidential election and down-ballot races, particularly in swing states crucial for electoral success. Trump's decision to select Vance as his running mate was seen as strategic, potentially driven by a need for a strong second-in-command.
