Opinion: Really, Who Cares About the Veepstakes?
There’s a lot of noise this week about JD Vance and Tim Walz and how both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have, in the manner of G.O.B. of Arrested Development fame, made a huge mistake.
Here’s the truth most of the media and the punditocracy don’t want you to hear: Except in the rarest of circumstances, vice presidential selections will not have any impact on voters. It’s almost all noise. And that will almost certainly be true this year, too.
The reason I say “almost nobody” is that a few slivers of those involved in American elections very much do care.
