GOP rift over Trump’s controversial pick, JD Vance
Republican senators are split over Donald Trump’s choice of Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate.
While Trump defends Vance, recent controversy has sparked internal debate.
Critics argue that Trump should have selected a woman or a person of color to broaden his appeal beyond his core base.
Concerns have also arisen over Vance’s foreign policy views and his ability to expand the Republican coalition.
Some senators, including Lindsey Graham, suggested alternatives like Sen. Marco Rubio or Sen. Tim Scott to capture more swing votes.
Vance’s past remarks, including criticisms of Trump, have fueled negative press coverage.
Despite this, Trump remains committed to Vance, hoping his appeal to white, working-class voters in key Midwest states will counterbalance Democrats’ momentum.
The Republican National Committee rules allow for a vice presidential change only under specific circumstances, limiting immediate alternatives.
