Vance gives women the ick—and this won't help

Everywhere Vice President Kamala Harris goes this week, GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance is following. It’s not unusual for presidential contenders and their running mates to shadow their opponents, but in this case the strategy might not play out the way Republicans want it to—especially with women voters.

Vance is not hosting traditional rallies in the same cities on the same days as Harris, instead opting for “press appearances” nearby. The first will take place in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Vance will then follow Harris to: Detroit, Michigan; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; and Raleigh, North Carolina. After Donald Trump’s rally size failure in Atlanta over the weekend (it was filled to capacity for Harris just days before), it’s no wonder the GOP ticket is not trying to compete on crowd size.

As The Daily Beast reports, the Ohio senator will appear at a South Philadelphia venue that “regularly hosts fights and wrestling events, a perfect fit as Vance and the Trump campaign work to court young men with an interest in combat sports.” Yeah, kind of creepy.

It’s pretty clear Vance has a problem with women, in more than one sense.
