Sen. JD Vance Defends Trump's Call for Biden Investigation Amidst VP Speculation

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) has publicly defended former President Donald Trump's suggestion to investigate President Joe Biden, calling it a 'totally reasonable' action if Trump were to win a second term. During a series of interviews, Vance criticized the media and Democratic lawmakers for their reaction to Trump's statements, suggesting a bias against the former president. Additionally, amidst speculation about his political future, Vance confirmed that he has not been approached by Trump to be his vice presidential candidate for the upcoming election. This defense comes amid a broader context of political tension and ongoing debates about the role of investigations in political rivalry.

Finally, someone with the guts to stand up for what's right and call out the double standards against Trump - JD Vance is speaking the truth!

It's refreshing to see Sen. JD Vance standing up for common sense and accountability in politics. If there's nothing to hide, then an investigation into Biden should be welcomed by everyone, not just criticized by the media and Democrats.

Honestly, it's pretty troubling to see Sen. JD Vance defending Trump's call to investigate Biden just like that. It feels like we're slipping further into using political power to go after opponents, rather than focusing on policies that actually help people. Vance's quick jump to cry bias without addressing the deeper implications of such an investigation is concerning. It's like we're watching the playbook of using investigations as political weapons unfold right in front of us. And with Vance not denying VP speculation, it just adds another layer of political games over the real issues facing Americans.

Seeing JD Vance support the idea of investigating Biden really doesn't surprise me, and honestly, it feels like a breath of fresh air in today's political climate. It's about time someone called out the blatant bias in the media and among Democrats, who seem to think they're immune to scrutiny. The fact that Vance is even in the conversation for VP under Trump just shows that there are still politicians willing to stand up for accountability, no matter who's in office.

Sounds like more political theater to me, focusing on investigations rather than addressing the real issues facing people every day.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Should former presidents have the power to call for investigations into their successors?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

How do you feel about using investigations as tools in political rivalries?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…10mos10MO

Do you believe media bias affects how political actions are perceived; if so, how?

Trump hits ‘nasty’ Michelle Obama at Atlanta rally

Former President Trump attacked former first lady Michelle Obama during his rally in Atlanta on Monday, calling her “nasty” after Obama lobbed attacks at the former president while stumping for Vice President Harris.“You know who’s nasty to me? Michelle Obama,” Trump told supporters in Atlanta.“I always tried to be so nice and respectful. Oh, she opened up a little bit of — a little bit of a box. She opened up a little bit of something. Oh, she was nasty. Shouldn’t be that way. That was a big mistake that she made,” he added.His remarks come after Obama criticized Trump during a Michigan rally on Saturday, at one point mentioning “Donald Trump’s gross incompetence.”“I hope that you’ll forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse, all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said in Kalamazoo, Mich.The heated rhetoric underscores the increasingly personal tone the presidential election has taken between the two campaigns roughly one week out from the election.An aggregate of national surveys compiled by The Hill/Decision Desk HQ shows Harris slightly ahead at close to 49 percent support while Trump is at 48 percent.
