ED O’KEEFE: Let's play what he had to say about JD Vance.
DONALD TRUMP: Historically, the vice president in terms of the election does not have any impact. I mean, virtually no impact. You have two or three days where there's a lot of commotion as to who, like you're having it on the Democrat side who it's going to be, and then that dies down and it's all about the presidential pick. Virtually never has it mattered.
O’KEEFE: Not exactly singing Vance's praises there.
KADIA GOBA: No. It wasn't. And, you know, leading up to the pick before he was announced, Republicans were kind of split on this. I heard a lot of them saying, “well, JD Vance, as long as it's not JD Vance because he brings nothing to the ticket.” On the other side people said, well, they like his background, they like this guy, came from nothing, now he's a senator. But also, I mean, either way, for a presidential nominee to say that about his running mate, is pretty detrimental, whether it's -- he might very well be, you know, accurate, but it's kind of like, interesting to say that.
WEIJIA JIANG: Especially because all you have to look at is what we've been talking about with regard to the Republican ticket since Vance was named, which is his comments from a few years ago about single cat ladies, which is how weird he is. So it’s taking away from Trump and that is an impact in and of itself.
