You can't go by anything Vance says. He's a mistake. An unvetted mistake pushed on Trump by a former mega-doner, ($1.25 million) Peter Thiel, in exchange for Thiel's financial support which has yet to materialize, according to recent reports.
It's possible that Trump just got played for a fool.

Trump is now trying to explain away his bad judgment regarding Vance by saying "Traditionally, the V.P. choice has no effect on the outcome of the election."
Apparently, that logic does not apply to President Biden's choice of Kamla Harris.

I think this is a brilliant move by Schumer. Let Vance and Republicans show us how much they care about families. He should schedule a vote on stuff like this every week until November.
What's funny will be when Republicans start complaining about Congress inserting itself into the Presidential election, as if they haven't been saying for 20 years that hard-knuckle politics are just a part of life. Now that Dems are making some flailing attempt at it, suddenly the Jeff types will need a fainting couch.

"flailing?"
That's an understatement.

Is it? They're about to take a 5-week recess. If Dems took this strategy seriously they'd make everyone stay and demonstrate how anti-family Vance and the Republicans are.

They don't get to stay at all if they don't leave to defend their seats in Congress.

Then start allowing and requiring remote voting, and continue embarrassing Republicans all summer long. This isn't impossible.
