Biden-Harris 2024 Chair Jen O’Malley Dillon released the following statement in response to Donald Trump naming J.D. Vance as his running mate:
“Donald Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people.
“As Trump’s running mate, Vance will make it his mission to enact Trump’s Project 2025 agenda at the expense of American families. This is someone who supports banning abortion nationwide while criticizing exceptions for rape and incest survivors; railed against the Affordable Care Act , including its protections for millions with preexisting conditions; and has admitted he wouldn’t have certified the free and fair election in 2020.
“Billionaires and corporations are literally rooting for J.D. Vance: they know he and Trump will cut their taxes and send prices skyrocketing for everyone else.
“Over the next three and a half months, we will spend every single day making the case between the two starkly contrasting visions Americans will choose between at the ballot box this November: the Biden-Harris ticket who’s focused on uniting the country, creating opportunity for everyone, and lowering costs; or Trump-Vance – whose harmful agenda will take away Americans’ rights, hurt the middle class, and make life more expensive – all while benefiting the ultra-rich and greedy corporations.”
Like Trump, J.D. Vance supports a nationwide ban on abortion – and he criticizes exceptions for rape and incest.
Like Donald Trump, J.D. Vance supports an abortion ban nationwide
Vance opposes exceptions for rape and incest survivors, saying “two wrongs don’t make a right,” and calling those circumstances “inconvenient.”
Vance thinks women should stay in “violent” marriages.
J.D. Vance supports Trump’s agenda to cut Social Security and rip away Americans’ health care.
Vance railed against the Affordable Care Act, which includes protections for millions of Americans with preexisting conditions.
Vance called Social Security and Medicare “the biggest roadblocks to any kind of real fiscal sanity.”
J.D. Vance denies the results of the 2020 election and makes excuses for political violence.
J.D. Vance admitted he would not have certified the 2020 election results, and echoes Donald Trump’s baseless lies refusing to accept the results of the 2020 election.
Vance has repeatedly attempted to whitewash the political violence that occurred on January 6.
Vance has a reputation as one of the most far-right extremists in Washington, endorsing a January 6 rally member for Congress and calling Marjorie Taylor Greene, who trafficks in antisemitism and division, “a friend.”
Two peas in a pod, Dump and Vance. The thought of these fascists anywhere near our democratic government should keep us all up at night! In fact, it is truly nauseating and revolting!
Thanks Scott I believe the people who read your message get it, as to the depth and width of the crap storm that would ensue I believe the magas have no clue. tRump suspends the constitution day one and opps there goes their precious. The second amendment, free speech as well and the rest of the freedoms the magas as well as us take for granted, take heart and don't despair we are in the fight of our lives and liberties and fight we will.
It’s sad how many people are willing to sacrifice their character just to get a chance at the golden ring of wealth and power.
We must not let the threat of violence silence our voices and our voting. We can talk about the threat Project 2025 is to the constitution and the rule while also promoting the peaceful way we should handle this threat, which is to VOTE!

When I read the plan I compiled a list of acronyms. I was overwhelmed with them before the end of chapter 3. It's of no use sitting in my computer, It was made to help people read the plan for themselves.
Actually I found that Microsoft word would do that for me. But thanks.
I'm a former educator, it does people no good sitting in my computer. Please share it as widely as possible to help folks trying to read it themselves.
Nice shirt! I have well over 200 T-shirts already -- so many that I'm blogging about them in THE T-SHIRT CHRONICLES and I'm only up to the early '90s -- but I might have to spring for this one.
I think Trump will live to regret this decision (which I'm not sure he made). Vance is a 2-faced conniving hypocrite of the worst kind. Better watch your back, Benedict!
I'm not sure either. The Heritage Foundation et al. are looking over his shoulder, and the chances that he'll make it through another term aren't 100%.
Yes, they're 2 of a kind, meaning Vance adds nothing to the ticket, just reinforces what we hate about Trump. Perhaps he's there because he's a younger version of Trump, who can replace Trump at any time the PTB behind Project 2025 want.
I think she is amazing. Mark and I met her when she was running for Senator and she visited San Diego. Her ideas about creating an educational path for all children beginning in preschool and making sure parents have a way to raise a family without constant worry - very progressive, and I think she will make a great president. JD-whos-it is a misogynist waging war on women. Haven't we had enough old white "christian" men in charge of our government and allowing billionaires to ride roughshod over the America many of us envision as the shining place where freedom rings?
I have a wonderful story about a personal interaction I had with Vice President Harris over the telephone during the “approval” process of that crybaby Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court. I was so appalled that he was even being considered for such a position that I had to call & express my feelings. To my complete surprise, Kamala Harris answered; of course, she wasn’t VP at that time, but the conversation just reinforced my impression of her as THE BEST!!!🌊💙💦👩🏻🦳
Agree 100%. Kamala wins this contest hands down. This is a gift to democrats as Vance is just as awful as Trump. So much for the Trump image "rehabilitation" they were trying to spin after the shooting.
Widdle Jimmy Vance, the man who puts "disgrace" in "disgrace to the Marine Corps," the man who puts "hack" into "hack writer," the man who puts the hip in "hypocrisy." A triple threat, he is.
OK, how do we counter all of this. Firstly, we do not under any circumstances normalize any of this. Consider JD Vance is 39 years old, he turns 40 on August 2. He has served as a US Senator since January 3, 2023, which is not impressive in terms of experience and/or the opportunity to develop a nuanced understanding of our system of government. He wrote a book. Big deal. Tragically, Ron Howard picked it up and apparently turned it into a movie I have not seen, but which probably has helped his name recognition. Darn Hollywood playing a supporting role in the rise of toxic politicians. I cannot find any state or local level government experience, but he has made $$$ in the financial sector. He was raised as a conservative Christian, opposes abortion and apparently opposes any public support or assistance to the poor and marginalized. Aside initially going on record (2016) as opposing Trump and finding him unfit for office, he has gone full MAGA. In short, he is too young and too inexperienced to serve our country. The MAGA-oriented folks in Ohio and West VA might be proud to vote for a "hometown" boy in some cases, but these are already Red states anyway.
Thanks Scott .. In the past I have not been a big fan of Kamala .. so I decided I needed to understand why … after intensely watching and listening to her I realized that she possess the qualities to be a good VP .. or even if it’s necessary, god forbid, the President .. in my mind the rationale behind Biden being to oold is nonsense, in particular because of Kamala .. thanks for posting ..

Kamala can run rings around Vance!!

She certainly can !! She's incredibly intelligent, and Vance is not
I think Trump will live to regret this decision (which I'm not sure he made). Vance is a 2-faced conniving hypocrite of the worst kind. Better watch your back, Benedict!
But, he is just the kind of politician the Republican MAGAs support these days.
Yep and it’s awful
That is why I was afraid that Vance would be the VP choice. A really contemptible person!
I'm not sure either. The Heritage Foundation et al. are looking over his shoulder, and the chances that he'll make it through another term aren't 100%.
You just described Trump!
Yes, they're 2 of a kind, meaning Vance adds nothing to the ticket, just reinforces what we hate about Trump. Perhaps he's there because he's a younger version of Trump, who can replace Trump at any time the PTB behind Project 2025 want.
No contest. VP Harris is AMAZING
I think she is amazing. Mark and I met her when she was running for Senator and she visited San Diego. Her ideas about creating an educational path for all children beginning in preschool and making sure parents have a way to raise a family without constant worry - very progressive, and I think she will make a great president.

My cat is a better VP candidate than JD Vance!
What’s your cats name? LOL
Mitzi Strawberry Willow Whiskers
—She’s sassy, sweet, and aspires to be a champion of rhythm gymnastics!
I love her name.
Nice image… amusing .. lightens up my lunchtime!
My cat too and her name is Dolly.
And don’t forgot JD is also a turncoat who originally spoke against his orange master. Does bootlicker apply?
I have a wonderful story about a personal interaction I had with Vice President Harris over the telephone during the “approval” process of that crybaby Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court.

That’s awesome Kim!
Hillbilly Elegy is his memoir about what it’s like to grow up in poverty and strife and the growing class divide in the US.
Huh. What a hypocrite.
Not very well written either.
Agree 100%. Kamala wins this contest hands down. This is a gift to democrats as Vance is just as awful as Trump. So much for the Trump image "rehabilitation" they were trying to spin after the shooting.
Absolutely Shannon that's thrown out the window.
Every single way!
Waiting for Republicans to assign MAGA SS uniforms.
They are at the tailor’s as we speak!
No chance with Vance. Biden/Harris for the win!
Agreed! What a great saying!

This was a horrible choice to unite. A great choice to rile up MAGA base.
