During a recent podcast episode, Ben Shapiro admitted that Donald Trump would likely like a 'do-over' on his selection of J.D. Vance as his running mate.
When Donald Trump made his running mate decision, he was convinced that he would badly beat Joe Biden in the general election. These days, he is in a lot tougher race against Kamala Harris and his VP is dragging his campaign down.
During a recent show, Shapiro suggested, "Speaking of errors that Republicans are gonna have to avoid. So, JD Vance is the vice presidential nominee for president Trump. Now, if you had a time machine, if you go back two weeks, would he have picked JD Vance again? I doubt it."
The Conservative pundit continued, " think he probably would have picked somebody like Glenn Youngkin from Virginia in an attempt to broaden out his base. Instead, he went with JD 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 closed:
" 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."
