Middletown, Ohio CNN —Minutes into his first solo event as Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance had already divided his hometown audience here – over donuts.
The fallout has left him without a Democratic counterpart after Vice President Kamala Harris quickly emerged as her party’s presumptive nominee.
Vance leaned into his biography during his appearance Monday in Middletown, where someone held up a homemade “2028 Vance for President” sign.
Andy Beshear – seen as a potential Harris running mate – sought to undermine Monday.
“If Joe Biden can’t run for president, he can’t serve as president,” Vance said.
