Advisers Steer Vance Away From Debate Trap Trump Fell Into
If Trump-Vance campaign aides have their way, JD Vance won’t belabor Tuesday night over the outrageousness of pet-eating immigrants that ruled the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
Asked directly by a reporter Monday if Vance planned to repeat Trump’s bizarre debate claims that immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are eating people’s pet cats and dogs, campaign senior adviser Jason Miller dodged the question and focused on the Biden administration’s perceived weaknesses that play to the MAGA base.
“I definitely would expect Senator Vance to talk about all aspects of illegal immigration, including as we’ve seen—and this is a big issue with regard to Springfield—the Kamala Harris smokescreen when it comes to illegal aliens and the issue of temporary protective status,” Miller, a longtime trusted Trump aide, told reporters during a call to preview the final debate of the 2024 presidential campaign season.
