JD Vance Admits To Donors That He’s TERRIFIED Of Kamala Harris

During a recent call with donors, JD Vance admitted that the Trump campaign got a “sucker punch” when President Biden dropped out of the race and was replaced promptly with Kamala Harris. But it wasn’t that Biden dropped out – it was that the campaign suddenly found themselves in a position where they were up against an exceptionally competent opponent. In other words, they are scared out of their minds because they hadn’t planned to take on a tough Democrat. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

In a meeting with donors to his campaign over this past weekend, uh, vice presidential nominee, JD Vance told these donors and audio that, of course was captured and subsequently leaked that he and Trump are actually kind of terrified of Kamala Harris. Now, here is what Vance said. He said, uh, uh, Kamala Harris is a threat. And it was a sucker punch to the campaign when Biden dropped out. Um, all of us were hit with a little bit of a political sucker punch when Biden withdrew. Uh, the bad news is that Kamala Harris does not have the same baggage as Joe Biden, because whatever we might have to say, Kamala is a, a lot younger, and Kamala Harris is obviously not struggling in the same ways that Joe Biden did.

So what Vance is trying to convey without actually having to say the words, is that we're screwed the Trump campaign long before Vance joined it and helped bring them down. Um, spent a year and a half focusing messages, spending millions of dollars telling American voters that Joe Biden can't be trusted because his brain is a pile of goo, right? The man is feeble, the man is weak, the man is also a criminal mastermind. Somehow both of those thoughts live together in their heads. And now, none of that, I mean, think about the fact that the House Republicans spent a year and a half investigating President Biden and his son, like, we're gonna take him down for 2024, and it's all for nothing now. All of it for nothing. They're all scrambling, not just Trump and Vance, but I'm talking about every Republican in the house, every Republican in the Senate, they're suddenly realizing we're screwed.

We can no longer claim that our democratic opponent isn't all there. In fact, we now have to field those same kind of, uh, uh, questions and attacks about our own candidate who can't stop himself from saying the craziest things you've ever heard. Anytime he gets in front of another person Trump's age, he is now the oldest official nominee of any party ever in the history of this country. So his age is an issue, not Kamala, uh, not Kamala, excuse me, sorry. But that's the way it is. And so, yes, Vance is terrified. Trump is terrified, and they are both wearing their fear on their sleeves, letting the entire world know how scared they are and how unprepared we were. Oh dear, old me. What are we gonna do? Donors help us. Maybe the donors will give money, maybe they won't. Problem is that money is not gonna help. That money is not gonna change the fact that suddenly you're up against somebody who is exceptionally competent, who is energizing. People like myself who didn't think they would be energized by this when Biden dropped out, you

Know, know, I I, I had admitted at the time, I was like, it's obviously gonna be Kamala because she's the second on the ticket. But I would love to have an open primary. I would love to have these other people. Mm-Hmm, not anymore. I mean, if I could go back in time, a week and a half really, and, and talk to my past self, I would say like, no dude. Everything's good. Like, trust me, this is the best thing to happen. And it really is. And you know how we know it's the best thing that happened, not just because of the polls, not just because of the fundraising, not just because of the enthusiasm. We know it's the best thing to happen because it is striking fear into the hearts of Donald Trump and JD Vance, and that tells you more than the polls, more than the fundraising, more than any of that ever could if they're afraid of it. It was obviously the right decision.
