New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker recently voiced his apprehension regarding the possibility of his Republican colleague JD Vance being chosen as former President Donald Trump's running mate. Booker expressed his worries about the stark contrast between Vance and former Vice President Mike Pence, particularly in how they would have handled the events of January 6, 2021.
Booker commended Pence for certifying the election results on that day, stating that it was the right thing for democracy. He raised concerns about Vance's stance, indicating that Vance had previously mentioned he would not have taken the same action as Pence, potentially leading the country into a constitutional crisis.
