The Ohio senator has given the Biden campaign new rocket fuel for its attacks on the former president.
“Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6; bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people,” President Joe Biden’s campaign chair said. | Francis Chung/POLITICODemocrats wasted little time Monday turning Donald Trump’s new running mate into a line of attack, seeking to portray Ohio Sen.
