In an impassioned speech at his second rally of the day, JD Vance, the vice presidential nominee, once again urged Democrats to invoke the 25th Amendment in response to President Biden's surprising announcement on Monday that he would be exiting the presidential race.
Addressing the crowd, Vance questioned the suitability of President Biden's fitness for office, stating, "Can anybody just admit that if Joe Biden is not fit to run for president, he ain't fit to serve as President of the United States either?" He further criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for failing to acknowledge Biden's unsuitability for the presidency, asserting that if she is unwilling or unable to recognize this fact, then she too is unfit to serve.
Expressing his own surprise at Biden's decision to withdraw from the race, Vance shared an anecdote about his wife informing him of the news. While the crowd cheered at the development, Vance expressed disappointment, as he had been looking forward to debating Kamala Harris. "I was promised a debate with Kamala Harris, and that's what I plan to get," he declared.
Vance continued his attack on Harris, asserting that she is even worse than Biden. He argued that history will remember Biden as one of the worst presidents in American history, but claimed Harris to be a "million times worse." Vance accused her of supporting and enabling Biden's failures, while also misleading the American people about his mental capacity to serve as president.
Adding to his criticisms, Vance highlighted Harris' positions on immigration and law enforcement. He claimed that she is more extreme than Biden, advocating for the decriminalization of illegal immigration, supporting the abolition of ICE, and calling for defunding of the police. Vance contended that her policies have proven ineffective and called for her removal from the Oval Office.
Calling the situation within the Democratic Party a threat to democracy, Vance decried the influence of billionaires like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi in the selection of candidates, rather than letting democratic voters decide. He characterized this as corruption and a broken process, highlighting the need for change.
In conclusion, Vance extended an open invitation to disillusioned Democrats, urging them to join the Republican Party and make their votes matter. He emphasized the Republican Party's commitment to fair elections and persuading voters, as opposed to what he deemed as three and a half years of deception from the Democrats.
As the election season continues to unfold, Vance's strong stance against Biden's exit from the race and his critique of Harris have garnered attention and stirred further debates within the political landscape.
