During a recent exchange between Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, Vance expressed his unwavering commitment to potentially being Donald Trump's vice presidential pick. This response came after Raskin's speech at the DNC, where he highlighted the peril faced by former Vice President Mike Pence during the events of January 6.

Raskin had pointedly asked Vance if he comprehended the circumstances that led to the sudden vacancy for the running mate position on the GOP ticket, alluding to the violent insurrection at the Capitol. In response, Vance appeared to brush off Raskin's remarks, stating that he found them amusing.

Vance confidently stated, 'I have no reservations about taking this job because I know that if we make Donald J. Trump president of the United States, he’s going to deliver rising wages, lower prices, and a secure border.' Despite any criticism from the media or Raskin, Vance remained resolute in his support for Trump's potential presidency.
