“He’s a guy that said some bad s--t about me. He did,” Trump said of Vance. “But you know what? Every one of the others did also. In fact, if I went by that standard, I probably never would have endorsed anyone in the country.'
Republican Senate candidate JD Vance speaks at a rally at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, Saturday, April 23, 2022, in Delaware, Ohio, where former President Donald Trump spoke later in the day to endorse Republican candidates ahead of the Ohio primary on May 3. CLEVELAND, Ohio – Former President Donald Trump on Saturday reiterated his reasoning for picking J.D. Vance in the Ohio Republican Senate, saying Vance had the best chance of winning in November.
“He’s a guy that said some bad s--t about me. He did,” Trump said of Vance. “But you know what? Every one of the others did also. In fact, if I went by that standard, I probably never would have endorsed anyone in the country. They all said back, but they came back.Trump’s endorsement of Vance in the race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman has caused some controversy in Republican circles around the state.
At Saturday’s rally, however, any past indiscretions were apparently forgiven by Trump for the greater goal of beating the Democrats in 2022, with Trump frequently teasing another presidential run in 2024. Though ostensibly a rally for Vance and several other candidates, Trump spent most of the time rehashing old complaints or going on tangents. That included a 15-minute segment on appliance manufacturer Whirlpool and his desire to repeal regulations on water flow to dishwashers.
“I will not serve the donors of the Republican Party. I will not serve the tech executives,” Vance said. He did not note that his largest single financial backer is Peter Thiel, a former Facebook board member and one of the wealthiest donors to Republican Party politicians. LaRose did not respond to emailed questions about whether he had changed his stance in lieu of the Trump endorsement or if he thought it was appropriate that the former president invited speakers to the state who claimed he allowed voter fraud through inflated voter rolls.
