    The whole point of picking J.D. Vance was to counter Harris. Now that she’s top of ticket, not only does Trump not know what to do, Vance is pointless against Walz.

      The Vance pick had nothing to do with the campaign. When Trump picked Vance he thought that he was guaranteed a victory. He picked Vance to ingratiate himself with Silicon Valley during his Presidency.

        Trump picked Vance because he has an Indian wife and could counter a Harris VP with “I’m not racist, look who I married!”

        That got blown up when Harris was elevated and going against Trump.
