Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance said Thursday that while he isn’t helping former President Donald Trump prepare for next week’s debate against Vice President Kamala Harris, he and his running mate are “constantly trading ideas.”
“We’re not going to have some sort of formal debate prep session, because Donald Trump doesn’t need it,” Vance said in response to a question from CNN at a campaign event in Arizona. “Donald Trump actually knows what he believes, and he knows his record.”
Vance also added that Harris is hoping for a debate moment where she can tell Trump, “I’m speaking,” as she did at the 2020 vice-presidential debate with then-candidate Mike Pence.
“She doesn’t want to be the vice president. She wants to be the vice principal,” Vance said. “She really likes, she really likes to just tell people what to do.”
