Asked by host Shannon Bream what the Republican Party should do to rally voters, the Ohio senator attacked the record and economic policies of the vice president and Democratic nominee.
“Giving Kamala Harris control of inflation policy is like giving Jeffrey Epstein control of anti-trafficking policy,” he said in an interview with Fox News on Sunday.
According to him, Americans are “intelligent” and they know that Kamala Harris does not “represent renewal.” They will not offer the vice president a “promotion” on November 5, the Republican suggests.

Recall that Donald Trump’s name appears in court documents related to the Epstein affair, which were made public earlier this year. However, there is no evidence that Trump committed any wrongdoing with the financier, who died in prison in 2019 and with whom he was photographed on several occasions.

It was also revealed last week that Donald Trump recently flew on a private jet once owned by Jeffrey Epstein after his own plane suffered mechanical problems.
“Fake” polls
During the same interview, JD Vance also claimed that national polls that give Democrats a lead are “fake.”
“I say to you watching the show, the Trump campaign is in a very, very good position,” he said.

Several national polls, however, give Kamala Harris a three to six point lead in voting intentions. These results, however, do not take into account the electoral college, the electors who represent each of the states and who, ultimately, elect the president of the United States.
