As I’ve noted before, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) has risen to the occasion since becoming GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s running mate in late July, from the way he’s handled the liberal media’s talking points to the way he refuses to back down from a fight and comes armed with receipts so he can start dropping them on his critics when challenged.
Then there was his beast mode performance at the veep debate, where he made mincemeat of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris is desperately relying on to help her win over male voters, who are flocking to support the Trump-Vance ticket in droves.
But while Walz’s reported role in part has been to try and assure male voters (as if they need it) that manliness won’t be a thing of the past in America if the Harris-Walz team is elected, Vance’s actual manly demeanor and style has been on full display in recent events, including one Thursday in North Carolina.
Vance was in Greensboro for a town hall-style campaign stop that also featured former professional racing star Danica Patrick interviewing him, with the Senator also taking questions from the audience. While Vance was of course critical of the Democrat ticket, one moment during the event stood out from the rest.
As Vance was listening to someone talking, a woman could be heard behind him letting out a scream. Vance was immediately on alert and got up to see what the problem was, asking if she was okay. Moments later, he quipped, “Kamala Harris built this platform behind us, that’s what happened” before again asking if she was okay.
