(The Guardian) While Republicans celebrated the selection of JD Vance as Donald Trump’s running mate, progressives responded to the news with dismay and outrage.
“Vance is an extremist election denier who will be a rubber stamp for Trump’s continued assault on our democracy and women’s freedom,” said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. “This extremist and faker is unfit for the White House, which makes him a perfect running mate for Donald Trump.”
Rahna Epting, executive director of MoveOn Political Action, added: “At a time when our nation is deeply divided, JD Vance’s selection only divides us further and harms any effort to unite this country.”
Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United, said Trump’s selection “solidifies that his campaign is working overtime to appease wealthy donors and corporate interests”. “There should be no lingering doubt that Trump and Vance will create one of the most extreme and corrupt administrations in our nation’s history,” Muller said.
