Trump’s newly selected running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, will help Republicans in down-ballot races, Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., argued during an Axios House event at the Republican National Convention on Monday.
“Republicans want JD Vance campaigning with our Senate candidates, Democrats cannot say the same of Kamala Harris,” Dianes told Fox News Digital. “JD knows how to win working class voters, and importantly, will help Republicans appeal to lunch-bucket Democrats who believe Democrat policies have gotten far too radical.”
“I think JD is gonna help us in states like Montana, like Ohio,” Daines said Monday. As head of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), Daines is responsible for efforts to try and flip the Senate to a GOP majority in November.
“For Trump to win, to get the electoral map sealed, he needs to win the same states he won in 2020, plus Georgia and Pennsylvania,” Daines said. “I think JD Vance would be a big help in winning Pennsylvania,” he added.
