Amanda Carpenter: Picking J.D. Vance as VP ‘Proves’ that Trump Might Never Leave the White House if He Wins in November
EXCERPT:
CARPENTER: "And what the party is rallying behind and why is it Trump-Vance ticket and not Trump-Pence is that the party has come to terms with an authoritarian view where it is acceptable to use every tool at executive's disposal to stay in power. That’s what Project 2025 is really about, consolidating executive power, to wield it, full control of the federal government. And when I talk to people about the autocratic threat, as we've been doing at Protect Democracy for years now, the thing that it’s hardest for people to believe is the idea, if Trump was elected to a second term, he wouldn’t leave. The selection of J.D. Vance proves that this is a real threat that could happen if Trump is elected, and that is because J.D. Vance is willing to do everything that Mike Pence wouldn’t.”
