One of the hottest rumors in politics is the veepstakes to find who will be the Vice Presidential pick for former President Donald Trump, and one candidate is speaking about it.
This past week rumors began spreading that Ohio Republican Sen. J.D Vance was one of the top choices for former President Trump, which he addressed when he spoke to Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Thursday.
“Well, Laura, I have actually never spoken to the president about V.P. Speculation. My simple answer is I want to help him however I can. If he asks me, of course I would think seriously about it. It would be a great honor,” the senator said.
“I also am happy to support the agenda in the United States Senate, and regardless, Laura, you have to remember my job is to serve the people of Ohio. Whether it’s supporting Trump’s agenda in the Senate or serving in some other role, we have got to bring good manufacturing jobs and prosperity to the people of Ohio and the American heartland,” he said.
“For 40 years bipartisan consensus to ship jobs overseas to bring unchecked migration. Trump stopped that. And the real question for the Republican party is whether we follow that lead and double down on that winning agenda or do we try to go back to the old ways and, unfortunately, Laura, as you know as well as I do, there is a critical component of the old guard of the Republican party that wants to go back to the old ways, more immigration, more war, less good wages for American workers,” the senator said.

“Thank God, Trump is there to push back against it,” he said.
Kellyanne Conway, a contributor to Fox News, predicted that former President Donald Trump would make “monster gains” in support from Hispanic voters in November and urged him to choose a person of color for his running mate.
“Look, every way you look at it, Hispanics have so many reasons to dump Biden. Harris. The main one is the border. How cynical of an entire Democratic Party to believe that in the nine years since Donald Trump elevated into international consciousness his view on illegal immigration. Build the wall. Be fair to the people here, America first,” Conway said.
“Nine years later, the Democrats still think that attacking Donald Trump on the border is going to get them the Hispanic vote. Hispanics are also upset that they are hostile to religion, that they masked up their kids and kept them home for the better part of two school years. The economic upward mobility that is being lost to them. So I think that Donald Trump’s going to have a monster gains among Hispanics, and I think it’s part of why he should pick a person of color as his VP,” she added.
