Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance criticized Vice President Kamala Harris at a rally in Virginia, gathered support from the crowd as he echoed calls for President Joe Biden to resign. Vance argued that Harris was complicit in Biden’s failures and lying about his capacity as president. The event in Radford followed Biden’s announcement that he would not run for re-election, potentially clearing the way for Harris to seek the Democratic nomination. Vance closed the rally by addressing the crowd to cheers and music.
Earlier in the day, Vance had a rally in Ohio where controversial statements were made by a Republican state senator about a potential civil war if Republicans lose the upcoming election. In Virginia, Republican speakers focused on issues of immigration, law enforcement, and border security, targeting the Biden Administration for the current crises.
Attendees at the rally expressed mixed views on the upcoming election, with some planning to vote for Vance and expressing concerns about the Democrats’ ability to win. Others expressed approval of Vance as Trump’s running mate, with one attendee warning of potential non-violent demonstrations if Trump does not win re-election. Overall, the rally highlighted the sharp political divisions and issues that will likely dominate the upcoming election season.
