38

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) has skipped every Senate vote since he became Donald Trump’s running mate on July 15, reports the Washington Post. “Vance, a freshman senator from Ohio, has missed 38 votes over the last two months, including a vote on expanding the child tax credit in early August and one last week creating a right to in vitro fertilization. And he’s highly unlikely to cancel his campaign rally in Michigan to be in Washington tonight to vote this week on a funding extension to avoid a partial government shutdown.”

Vance’s Pants Is On Fire!
