    Don’t be complacent! Vote! Vote! Vote!

    Reasons...Rust belt states. Those towns that had been and still bleeding jobs disappearing. Vance grew up in area like that. He knows more about working people than Youkin. This guy is no expert.

    "Win" is not the same as occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Haven't learned that yet. "They" learned it and are going to do the same for pres., house and senate in '24. The question is what are you going to do about it?
  • Thanks Joe for you service and sacrifice. You are a patriot who puts country before self. Game on!

  • I think that Vance is open-minded enough to process information & change his mind when presented with "facts"! That is a huge plus!

    Best choice would have been Tulsi Gabbard. It would have shown unity and she would have brought in new voters.
