Vance: Biden Dropping Out Is “Threat To Democracy”

NBC News reports:

Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, was not happy when President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign, throwing the Democratic Party’s ticket into turmoil and robbing Vance of a moment he was looking forward to: Debating Vice President Kamala Harris.

“I was told I was going to debate Kamala Harris,” Vance said here Monday during his first solo event as former President Donald Trump’s running mate. “And now President Trump is going to get to debate her? I’m kind of pissed off about that, if I’m being honest with you.”

“Elite Democrats,” Vance said, “got in a smoke-filled room and decided to throw Joe Biden overboard. That is not how it works. That is the threat to democracy, not the Republican Party.”
