Republican Sen. Thom Tillis declined to offer his opinion on whether JD Vance was the right choice to be former President Donald Trump's running mate. When asked about Vance's potential as a vice presidential candidate, Tillis stated that he has never been involved in the selection process for a VP candidate and therefore refrained from expressing his views on the matter.
However, Tillis did mention that he knows JD Vance well and has developed a good understanding of him over the past few years. He described Vance as a smart individual and acknowledged that the Trump campaign likely had valid reasons for selecting him. Tillis expressed his support for the ticket, indicating his backing for Vance as the Republican vice presidential nominee.
These comments from Tillis come at a time when JD Vance has faced some challenges in the initial weeks of his tenure as the Republican vice presidential candidate. Reports suggest that Vance is gearing up for a more active schedule in the coming days as he aims to reintroduce himself to voters following a somewhat uneven campaign rollout.
