With less than two months to go until the midterm elections, the Vice President of the United States is attacking the Democrats.
Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, on Friday night called the Democrats the “party of hate” in a speech at a party meeting for the Republicans in the Texas city of Dallas.
This is written by the AFP news agency.
The crowd chanted “JD, JD!” as the 42-year-old vice president took the stage at the American Airlines Center.
– This autumn, the Democrats are fielding candidates who will tell your children what to say, how to live and who they should hate, he said.
– The Democrats are the party of hate. They are the party that loathes the United States and the people who built the country. They are the party that can find sympathy for the terrorists who were behind September 11.
On November 3, Americans will vote in the midterm elections.
AFP writes that, according to the analysis institute Decision Desk HQ, the Democrats stand to gain a majority in the House of Representatives, while the two parties stand to gain an equal number of seats in the Senate.
During JD Vance’s 40-minute speech, according to the Reuters news agency, some in the audience shouted “48, 48”, referring to the fact that Vance may become the 48th president of the United States.
However, Vance said Republicans need to focus on the midterm elections first.
The vice president is considered an obvious choice for a Republican presidential candidate when there are presidential elections in 2028.
He himself has said that he will not decide whether he will run until the mid-term elections are over.
After the vice president’s speech, President Donald Trump took the stage in Dallas.
– I would like to thank our excellent vice president. What a job he did tonight, the president said.
Trump, like his vice president, attacked the Democrats and made himself central in the midterm elections.
– I am not on the ballot. You have to pretend I’m on the ballot, he said.
On the night of Thursday Danish time, Trump said at the party meeting in Dallas that he will pay out 5,000 dollars – a good 32,000 kroner – to all American adults if the Republicans win the midterm elections.
