Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested that Donald Trump may be rethinking his choice of J.D. Vance as his vice presidential running-mate.

But Trump’s VP nominee is “one of the best things he ever did for Democrats,” the senator said

Donald Trump may be regretting his choice of running-mate and wondering “Why did I pick this guy?” according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Over the past few weeks since Trump announced his decision, the narrative that Sen. J.D. Vance is “weird” has gained traction, and Schumer speculated that may have the former president considering replacing him.

“Every day, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic,” Schumer said. “Vance seems to be more weird and erratic than President Trump, and I’ll bet President Trump is sitting there, scratching his head, and wondering, ‘Why did I pick this guy?’”

    Don’t get too complacent. Everybody here thinks JD Vance is a bad choice and will cost Trump his re-election.

    Exactly the same way nobody believed Trump would be elected in 2016.

      Yah, but Schumer saying all this forces Trump to keep him to keep face. Can’t have Chuck be right, doncha know. It’s a good play, unusually good for the Democrats.
