While Donald Trump invoked dark rhetoric on the campaign trail on Sunday, the former president’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, said the former president’s closing message is to “unleash a golden age of American prosperity for all our citizens,” regardless of how they vote.
“If they vote the wrong way, they’re still our fellow citizens. We’re still going to love them, and we’re still going to serve them as best we can. Do not follow the lead of Kamala Harris and the Democrats,” Vance said in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
Vance was joined in Pennsylvania by North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, Florida Rep. Byron Donalds and Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty. Both Governors spoke in the pre-program.
“My friends, we’ve got the best country in the world, the best people, the best natural resources. The only thing that is broken about the United States of America is the failed leadership of Kamala Harris. Our people deserve a better president in two days. Let’s give it to ‘em,” Vance said.
Earlier, in the same state: At Trump’s own rally in Pennsylvania this morning, he described the Democratic Party as “very demonic” — but said “the people aren’t,” referring to “regular Democrats.” He commented that he didn’t mind that a gunman would have to “shoot through the fake news” to get him, due to the security layout at the campaign event, and repeated lies about election fraud, saying he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after the 2020 election.
