JD Vance Has Missed 38 Senate Votes Since Becoming Trump’s Veep Pick

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.”

Should We Remind Him that His Running Mate Is a Billionaire?

“We admire Taylor Swift’s music but I don’t think most Americans, whether they like her music or fans of hers or not, are going to be influenced by a billionaire celebrity who I think if fundamentally disconnected from the interests and the problems of most Americans.”
