JD Vance, a Republican vice presidential nominee and former US legislator, stated on Thursday that he did not believe Senator John McCain would back Vice President Kamala Harris if he were still alive nowadays. His remarks came after McCain’s boy, Jimmy McCain, endorsed Harris earlier this year.
Speaking at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, Vance criticized the present administration’s handling of the southwestern border. If John McCain were alive today and had witnessed the violence at the American southern border,” I do n’t think for a second that he would back Kamala Harris and the harm she has caused,” Vance said. ” I really do n’t believe that”.
The illegal access of migrants into the US border problems is a persistent immigrant problem in North America.
Vance reacts to McCain’s child approving Harris
In response to a writer’s question about the support from McCain’s child, Vance dismissed it, saying,” Who cares what somebody’s home thinks about a political race”? He emphasized that Arizona citizens were his main concern. ” John McCain died five, six, seven years ago. The internet is making a narrative out of what John McCain’s household says about Donald Trump“, Vance continued. ” I do n’t know if anybody noticed, but pretty much every single member of Tim Walz’s family endorsed Donald Trump. Is n’t that a bigger story than what John McCain’s son said? I think so”.
Following an incident involving Trump plan staffers at Arlington National Cemetery, Jimmy McCain apparently registered as a Democrat and supported Vice President Harris. After being accused of pushing an Army worker by Trump plan staffers, he told CNN that he had made the decision to speak up.
When asked about his views on John McCain’s tradition, Vance acknowledged he had not met the lawmaker but speculated on McCain’s principles.
Vance reflects on Trump-McCain debate
Donald Trump had previously mocked McCain, a Vietnam War prisoner of war, by claiming he preferred “people who were n’t captured”. McCain’s military assistance as a naval pilot during Operation Rolling Thunder in Vietnam was even questioned by the previous leader. Vance responded, stating,” I suspect he would have appreciated that McCain ‘ did n’t let personal grievances get in the way’ of serving the country”.
Vance reaffirmed his rely on the public, saying,” My goal is to inspire every single person in this area and across Arizona that their life will get better if they elect Donald J. Trump.”
Vance on class murders
Following a new tragic event in Georgia, Vance also addressed the issue of university murders in the US. ” School murders are a ‘ fact of life,’ and the US needs to develop surveillance”, he said, referring to the arrest of a 14-year-old charged with killing four people at a high school this week.

John McCain, a respected senator from Arizona and the 2008 Democratic presidential candidate, passed away in 2018 from brain cancer.

Former state director speaks on politicizing the southern border issue
John McCain’s past state producer, Wes Gullett, spoke on behalf of the Harris plan, reflecting on McCain’s position on the border problem. ” John McCain was working towards a remedy for the border, never really politicizing it”, Gullett commented.
Gullett suggested McCain might have found it offensive that Trump had rejected the most recent borders policy. He stated,” John McCain may have considered Trump killing the most recent border act ‘ malarkey.'” Gullett noted the enduring value of McCain’s tradition in Arizona, including Jimmy McCain’s efforts.
