Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance insists former President Donald Trump would be willing to appoint a Democrat to his Cabinet.
During an interview on CNN, Vance was asked if Trump would follow a pledge similar to that of Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Oh, of course we would. We have got a lot of Democratic support. We just got RFK. Jr., of course, and Tulsi Gabbard who endorsed the president in just the last couple of days. If you look at the Trump movement in 2024, it is actually the common sense big tent movement in American politics,” Vance responded.
He added, “We don’t agree on everything, of course. Not everybody who votes for Donald Trump will agree with every policy issue, but we agree on the basics. We agree that American energy prices should be lower. We agree we should make more of our own stuff in the United States of America. We agree that we should close down the border and stop the flow of illegal drugs and trafficking into our country. It is just the basic, common-sense stuff.”
Finally, Vance said, “And it’s telling, Kamala Harris wants to say she’s the big tent candidate and she wants to say she stands for a totally different platform than what she ran on three years ago. But she’s governed as a radical and will govern further as a radical and Donald Trump has the record of lower prices, higher wages and peace across the world. The contrast is extraordinary. We just have to remind the American people that the proof is in the pudding. Donald Trump did a good job. Kamala Harris did a bad one.”
The interview comes after Harris said she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet.
“I have spent my career inviting diversity of opinion. I think it’s important to have people at the table when some of the most important decisions are being made that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said during an interview with CNN.
She added, “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”
