Until now little known to the public, JD Vance has made a massive increase in polls since receiving the support of former President Donald Trump.
Seven Republican candidates are running for senatorship in Ohio. JD Vance will start winning today, as he is the new darling of the billionaire.
Donald Trump also sent his two loyal protégés, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, to support him in his campaign.
He also received financial support from PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.
” Donald Trump’s brand image is at stake, MAGA is at stake. “
But in 2016, Vance was among his strongest critics. He then called Donald Trump dangerous, outrageous and even stupid on Twitter. Today, his detractors call him an opportunist, and the advertising campaigns of his political rivals serve only as a reminder of this volte-face.
But Donald Trump would have forgiven him for his words, and reconciliation was made behind the scenes.
During the election campaign in East Canton, JD Vance used the same themes and used the same style of the former president in his speeches.
” America is flooded with illegal aliens bringing their sex traffickers with them, as well as illegal fentanyl into our communities. “
But ironically, at a rally in Nebraska, the former president had a hard time remembering his name and replaced him with JD Mandel. Today, Josh Mandel is JD Vance’s rival in Ohio.
At 44, Josh Mandel is pro-life, pro-Trump and pro-gun. And these were not his first steps in politics, because he was treasurer of the State.
” We try to teach eight -year -olds that there are over 50 genres and they can choose their own. This is wrong. There are two genders: male and female. “
All of the Republican candidates actually support Donald Trump, with the exception of Matt Dolan, who could also create a surprise on Tuesday, where Republicans are called upon to choose their candidate for the Senate election.
Donald Trump has won at Ohio State twice. The success or defeat of JD Vance will be a clear indicator of the president’s popularity, and will allow to know if he still enjoys the same weight in politics.
