Donald Trump may ditch JD Vance as VP after ‘damaging’ week

Speculation continues to grow over whether former US president Donald Trump will ditch JD Vance as his running mate after a “very damaging” week. It comes as a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson resurfaced last week, in which Mr Vance referred to Democrats like AOC and Vice President Kamala Harris as a ‘bunch of childless cat ladies’ who don’t have a stake in the future of the country. The Republican vice president nominee has since defended his comments after facing backlash following the remarks he made back in 2021. The Australian’s Washington Correspondent Adam Creighton joined Sky News host Chris Kenny to discuss the recent backlash the senator is facing and whether Trump will remove him from the ticket as the Republican vice president nominee. “It’s been very damaging,” Mr Creighton said. “I mean he’s had to explain himself and as they say in politics if you’re explaining you’re losing and there’s been a lot of explaining this week.” Credit to : Sky News Australia
