Vance (R-OH) stated on Tuesday that his campaign strategy involves &#8220;meeting as many people as possible&#8221; in order to bolster support for Republicans ahead of the upcoming election. As Trump\u2019s running mate for 2024, Vance responded to polling data suggesting his popularity lags behind that of Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s running mate, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), and discussed how he plans to engage undecided voters. He downplayed the significance of the polling results, asserting that his approach differs from that of the Democratic candidates. &#8220;We don\u2019t rely on scripted speeches or teleprompters,&#8221; Vance explained during an appearance on Fox News&#8217;s The Ingraham Angle. &#8220;We prefer unscripted interactions, press conferences, and direct conversations with people\u2014this is what I intend to continue doing.&#8221; He expressed skepticism about polls in general but emphasized confidence in connecting with voters directly.<\/p>\n<p>Vance also highlighted concerns regarding military recruitment, warning about potential readiness issues within the armed forces and suggesting that many individuals are reluctant to serve under a leadership represented by Harris. He argued for a need for &#8220;strong leadership&#8221; to enhance recruitment efforts. Additionally, he criticized Walz for avoiding questions related to recent hostage situations involving Hamas and contrasted current global chaos with Trump&#8217;s previous administration&#8217;s stability\u2014claiming this is a key argument for Trump&#8217;s 2024 candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>He questioned Harris\u2019s capability in international negotiations due to her perceived fearfulness even in friendly interviews and warned that promoting her could lead the U.S. into significant conflict: \u201cWe cannot trust this person,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Vance has been vocal about his disapproval of Harris\u2019s role in the Biden administration, particularly regarding the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021; he remarked she could \u201cgo to hell\u201d over her criticisms directed at Trump concerning his visit last week to Arlington National Cemetery where he consoled families of servicemembers who died during that withdrawal. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), who previously competed against Trump in the Republican primary race, defended Trump\u2019s visit by noting it was at the invitation of those families and questioned why there was more outrage over Trump&#8217;s attendance than over those servicemembers&#8217; deaths under Biden&#8217;s watch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2336543,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Vance-on-Ingraham-Angle-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[5894,3723,3634,15469,32076],"class_list":["post-2336542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-politics","tag-support","tag-trump","tag-vance","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Vance-on-Ingraham-Angle-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2336542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2336543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
