Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ridiculed former President Donald Trump’s selection of Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his vice presidential pick, and suggested the GOP nominee may want to ditch him.
“The addition of JD Vance to this ticket — it’s incredibly a bad choice,” Schumer (D-NY) told CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “Every day, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic.”
“I’ll bet President Trump is sitting there scratching his head and wondering, why did I pick this guy? The choice may be one of the best things he ever did for Democrats,” Schumer added.
Schumer, 73, needled Trump over the deadline and suggested that he may want to select another running mate by the deadline
“The president has about 10 days — 10 days before the Ohio ballot is locked in. And he has a choice: does he keep Vance on the ticket?” Schumer taunted. “Or does he pick someone new?”
When asked about Schumer’s swipe, Trump campaign communication director Steven Cheung said the former president is “thrilled” with his pick.
