GOP Group Director: JD Vance Reeks Of 1 Thing To Swing Voters

The director of a Republican group that has for years campaigned against former President Donald Trump drew a damning distinction Sunday between Trumps 2024 running mate, JD Vance, and two of the Democrats thought to be top picks to become Kamala Harris vice presidential candidate.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz  and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro both seem pretty comfortable in their own skin and they feel authentic, Republican Voters Against Trumps Sarah Longwell told MSNBC s Jen Psaki.

The thing that is killing JD Vance is that voters, and I have listened to tons of swing voters since he was picked, and they dont like him at all. They think he seems like a phony, she continued.

Voters only know that Vance flip-flopped on Trump, Longwell said.

Vance was a fierce critic of Trump before performing his stunning 180. The launch of his veep campaign has been beset with problems, however, with the resurfacing of old comments about childless cat ladies, among other quotes. Its led to speculation that Trump could replace him on the ticket.

They also get its like vibes, right? Voters can smell inauthenticity and thats what JD Vance reeks of to them, Longwell added.

The ability of Shapiro and Walz to sort of talk to people, to articulate their positions effectively, to seem comfortable in their own skin, to look like they mean what theyre saying, that is the kind of thing you just cant put a value on, Longwell explained.

Harris is expected to announce her running mate on Tuesday. Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly is also reportedly in the mix for the role, alongside Shapiro and Walz.
