The US leader questioned Vance's populist credentials.
Mr JD Vance, the Republican Senator from Ohio, arrives to accept his vice-presidential nomination on the opening day of the Republican National Convention in the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on July 15.“A clone of Trump on the issues,” Mr Biden told reporters before flying to Nevada when asked about the Ohio senator. “I don’t see any difference.”
The president’s remarks were just one part of a full-court press deployed by his campaign after Trump’s selection was announced on July 15, as aides and allies seek to define Mr Vance – who is largely unknown to many voters beyond Hillbilly Elegy, his memoir of growing up in Rust Belt poverty that spurred a national discussion about the White working class.
“Trump’s VP pick is great news for the wealthiest Americans,” Ms Elizabeth Warren, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, told reporters in a conference call on July 15. “With Trump-Vance, Social Security and Medicare cuts will bear down on seniors like an avalanche.” Ms O’Malley Dillon said Mr Vance would “make it his mission to enact Trump’s Project 2025 agenda at the expense of American families,” citing a blueprint for the former president’s return to power being drafted by some of his closest allies that calls for stacking federal agencies with loyalists and enacting socially conservative policies.
Ms Harris reached out to Mr Vance and left a message to congratulate him on his selection and encourage him to accept the CBS News debate, a Biden campaign official said.
