President Trump, God bless him. Sometimes he says the quiet part out loud.
I wouldn't count on sticking around if I was J.D. Vance. I don't think he's -- he certainly is underwater.
What a different race it would be if Trump had chosen Nikki Haley, Chris Christie, Brian Kemp, Glenn Youngkin, even Mitt Romney, people who can get votes that Trump doesn't now have.
