J.D. Vance spoke with Bencjacobs about his MAGA conversion: “I think there are so many reasons I was wrong about Trump, but I’m happy that I was wrong about Trump”
Photo: Gaelen Morse/REUTERS Six years ago, J.D. Vance was a vocal Never Trumper, once going so far as suggesting Donald Trump could be “America’s Hitler” in a private Facebook message to a law school friend. This week he got Trump’s blessing in Ohio’s Republican primary for Senate, which he’ll receive in person during a rally on Saturday.
Vance contrasted this with other candidates in the race “who all go down this rabbit hole” in trying to explain away their prior deviations from Trump. He was apparently referring to rivals Josh Mandel, the former state treasurer, Jane Timken, the former state party chair, and businessman Mike Gibbons. Several candidates made repeated pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago to beg for Trump endorsement, but none dealt with their apostasies head on in the way he has.
“These people all try to say the MAGA words but [Republican voters] can tell they don’t actually believe it, they have no real view of what American trade policy should look like, they have no real view of what we should do with big tech,” Vance said. “They just know our voters are kind of pissed off about it and it is very obvious that they just try to mouth the slogans.”
