in the state of Ohio, we had a referendum in 2023, and the people of Ohio voted overwhelmingly, by the way, against my position. And I think that what I learned from that, Norah, is that we've got to do a better job at winning back people's trust.

That's an insane statement.

What Vance should have learned from that is that he has a position that an OVERWHELMING number of people disagree with.

Right. The normal thing to do is either to concede your VP race, or concede your hard-line position.

But he is just saying "I learned I need to convince people harder that I'm right." Which is bat shit crazy.

He's supporting Trump, what do you expect?

“Norah did you know that I don’t represent the will of the people that I was elected to represent? It’s wild! Anyway here’s how that’s their fault.”

(And it kinda is, but either way what a douche)

I always wonder whether that is something that people like him consciously say or whether he actually thinks like that.
