At his third of four battleground stops on Monday, Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance looked to again tie Vice President Kamala Harris to the Biden administration as he boasted about the “big tent” support for former President Donald Trump on Monday.
“The whole argument of their campaign is that Tim Walz and Kamala Harris have nothing to do with the policies of the last three months, even though Kamala Harris is the sitting vice president of the United States,” he told the crowd in Atlanta.
“When you put a teleprompter in front of her, Kamala Harris will talk a big game about what she’s going to do. And I think all of us are saying, Kamala, if you want to do all these things, why haven’t you done them already?” Vance said.
As he often does, Vance called the Republican Party “big tent,” mentioning Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and former US Ambassador Nikki Haley, the latter who never ended up joining Trump on the campaign trail despite CNN previously reporting she was in talks to appear with him potentially at a Fox News town hall in late October.
“We’ve got in this commonsense movement, we’ve got the lieutenant governor and the governor of Georgia, Nikki Haley on the right, and Tulsi Gabbard and Bobby Kennedy on the left. This is a big tent, my friends. So, it’s not just red team versus blue team,” Vance said.
While Kemp is supporting Trump, he didn’t vote for him in the Republican primary. As CNN previously reported, Kemp refused to call a special legislative session to help Trump as he sought overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
