Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance expressed strong disapproval on Monday regarding President Joe Biden's decision to exit the presidential race and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. Vance labeled the move as 'absolutely disgraceful' during his first solo rally as Donald Trump's running mate.
Vance accused Democratic leaders and members of dishonesty, alleging that they had misled the public about Biden's mental capacity and abandoned him when he was deemed 'political deadweight.' He criticized the notion that influential Democrats like George Soros and Barack Obama conspired to replace Biden with Harris, characterizing it as a threat to democracy.
Furthermore, Vance asserted that Harris, Senate Democratic colleagues, and the media had all been complicit in concealing Biden's alleged incapacity until it became politically inconvenient. He emphasized the importance of honesty in politics and extended an invitation to disillusioned Democrats to join the Republican Party, which he claimed upholds democratic principles.
It is important to note that while many Democratic leaders have thrown their support behind Harris, she has not yet been officially nominated as the Democratic candidate. The process for selecting the nominee remains uncertain, with the convention's chair promising a transparent and orderly procedure to determine the party's candidate.
