In a recent interview with CNN, Ashley Etienne, former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris, named Ohio Senator JD Vance as the "greatest threat" to Harris' vice presidency if chosen as former President Donald Trump's running mate in the 2024 election.

Etienne praised Vance as an "incredible debater" and highlighted his ability to resonate with undecided voters. She suggested that Vance's sharpness and quick wit could pose a challenge to Harris on the debate stage, making him a formidable opponent.

The timing of Etienne's comments coincides with Harris facing high disapproval ratings, as reported by a Fox News national survey from May, which showed that 55% of registered voters hold an unfavorable opinion of the vice president.

Vance, who is among the top contenders for Trump's vice presidential pick, has shown unwavering support for the former president, standing by him even during his legal battles. Vance was seen accompanying Trump to a Manhattan courtroom where the former president faced charges related to falsifying business records.

Notably, Vance's connections in Silicon Valley have drawn attention, with Fox News Digital previously reporting on his donor network and its potential to boost Trump's ticket if Vance is chosen as his running mate. Vance, a Marine veteran who spent time in San Francisco working in the tech industry as a venture capitalist, also won his own crowded and intense GOP Senate primary with the help of Trump's endorsement.

Trump recently hinted at an upcoming announcement regarding his vice presidential pick, stating that he has "a pretty good idea" of who it will be. The announcement is expected to be made during the Republican National Convention in July.

The article reached out to Harris for comment, but no response was received.

As the 2024 election approaches, the identification of potential threats to Harris' vice presidency adds an extra layer of intrigue to the evolving political landscape. Vance's debate skills and strong support from Trump loyalists could make him a formidable opponent in the race for the vice presidency.
