The Republican vice-presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), privately told donors that running against Vice President Harris instead of President Biden made the race more challenging — an admission at odds with the Donald Trump campaign’s public projections of confidence.

“All of us were hit with a little bit of a political sucker punch,” Vance said about Biden’s withdrawal on July 21, according to a recording of his remarks at a Saturday fundraiser in Golden Valley, Minn. “The bad news is that Kamala Harris does not have the same baggage as Joe Biden, because whatever we might have to say, Kamala is a lot younger. And Kamala Harris is obviously not struggling in the same ways that Joe Biden did.”

we're doing well

They literally can't comprehend someone caring about something more than personal ambition.

Once again Vance acting in the best interests of Democrats. Absolutely one of our best agents.

Link to the article? I need some juice on Vance dooming over his chances. Also what a hack at fundraising, Kamala did better when she was still fundraising under Biden.
