Trump's new running mate is reacting for the first time
on camera to the news of President Joe Biden dropping
out of the 2024 race.
JD Vance returned to his hometown today in Pennsylvania, making
his first solo appearance on the campaign trail.
Fox's Kaylee Skyler joins us live from Middletown, OH, with
details.
Tell me what happened there today because this is home
turf for him.
Hey, good evening, John and Christina.
Well, today Vance spoke a lot about his upbringing tier
in Middletown.
And it's the setting of his memoir, Hillbilly LG.
And some voters say that Vance coming back home shows
his loyalty.
And they were even impressed that he came outside today
and shook hands with voters who couldn't make it inside
for the rally.
He's loyal to the Middletown, and he's loyal to the
Hillbillies.
He's loyal to everybody.
Everybody needs a fair shake and everybody needs to pull
their self up by the bootstraps and he did it.
He did it and I'm really proud of him.
Middletown High School was packed with about 900 people today.
Security was scattered throughout the property and several counter snipers
were up on the roof.
Vance's main message today is that he and Trump support
American workers and that America should make more stuff in
its own country for its own citizens.
Now, Vance had a lot to say about the current
state of the Democratic Party.
He says it's a threat to democracy that, quote, a
couple of elite Democrats got in a smoke filled room
and decided to throw Joe Biden overboard.
Now, he also took time to attack the new potential
Democratic presidential nominee.
Kamala Harris talks about the history of this country not
with appreciation, but with condemnation.
And look, of course, every country, just like every family,
certainly mine, has its pock marks, right?
Not everything's perfect.
It's never going to be.
But you, if you want to lead this country, you
should feel grateful for it.
You should feel a sense of gratitude.
And I never hear that gratitude come through when I
listen to Kamala Harris.
Vance is hitting the ground running as the new GOP
vice president candidate tonight.
He is in Radford, VA, for another rally in Middletown.
OH, Kaylee Skyler.
