In response to JD Vance’s disastrous interview this morning, DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: 

“Every time JD Vance gets mic’d up he reminds us why he’s the most unpopular VP pick in decades. Vance is flailing to cover for the Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda to ban abortion nationwide with or without Congress, defend Trump’s cruel immigration policy and tax scam to rig the economy for the wealthy, and lob bizarre attacks on women. The more the American people see Vance, the less they like him. Trump knows how to pick losers – from unpopular policy positions to weird running mates.”

Here are some lowlights from JD Vance’s NBC interview this morning:

• Tried to cover for the Trump-Vance ticket’s agenda to ban abortion nationwide.
• Backed Trump’s failed MAGAnomics record and his disastrous plans that economists say would lead to an inflation bomb.
• Dodged questions on Trump’s cruel family separation policy.
• Defended Trump’s dangerous election denialism (again).
• Tripled down on his weird attacks on women without children. 
• Touted RFK Jr.’s endorsement that’s weighing the Trump-Vance ticket down with serious baggage.
• When asked about RFK Jr.’s unhinged comments and conspiracy theories — including saying that he “won’t take sides” on 9/11 — Vance said RFK Jr. has said some “very interesting and important things.”
