Conservative commentator Ben Shapiro asserted that if former President Donald Trump had a time machine, he would travel back in time and select an individual other than Sen. JD Vance as his vice presidential running colleague.
The Ohio senator has recently been the subject of criticism for his previous political commentary on right-wing programs.
Shapiro predicted in the most recent episode of his podcast that Trump would likely have selected a Republican who could have broadened his support, such as Virginia Governor. Glenn Youngkin
“So, J.D. Vance is the vice presidential nominee for President Trump now. If you had a time machine, if you go back two weeks, would you have picked J.D. Vance again? I doubt it. I think he probably would have picked somebody like Glenn Youngkin from Virginia in an attempt to broaden out his base. Instead, he went with J.D. Vance, feeling because he was right that at the time he had a very solid advantage in the race against Joe Biden. Well, again, JD is super smart. He also has a long history of public commentary…” Shapiro said
“I agree that our country has moved away from caring about the future because too few Americans care about having children. I totally agree with that. However, this description that J.D. Vance is using is that politically smart or is it politically damaging? Now, again, he doesn’t have a time machine. He can’t go back and undo something he said three and a half years ago.” he continued.
“With that said, Democrats are, of course, using this as a club with which to be Donald Trump and JD Vance. They’re trying to run up the gender gap. So one of the things to understand about this election cycle is that the gender gap is larger than it has ever been in the history of American politics, in all likelihood. Males overwhelmingly vote for Trump. Females, particularly single females, overwhelmingly vote for Biden. And so they’re going to try to find some sort of wedge to claim that all Republicans are sexist. And this is the wedge they’re using today.” Shapiro concluded.
