Vance speaks to crowd of tens as Trump campaign deflates
In Chicago, Vice Presidential Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are at the center of a raucous, joyful Democratic National Convention. Meanwhile, Sen. JD Vance is out there on the road, doing the hard, dirty work of being Donald Trump's running mate.
On Tuesday, Vance was within 40 miles of the site of last month’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. But what Vance found in the city of Kenosha, Wisconsin, was not exactly an energetic crowd ready to cheer him to the rafters. In fact, it’s hard to call it a “crowd” at all.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel set Vance’s audience at 100 attendees. But looking at videos of the event, that number seems … generous.
