Ohio Senator JD Vance is energizing Virginia Republicans ahead of the November election. Donald Trump's running mate made an appearance in Radford yesterday, drawing thousands to the Dedmon Center to hear him speak. Vance spent much of his 30-minute speech criticizing President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. He called Biden "a quitter" and one of the worst presidents in U.S. history. He went on to say Harris was "a million times worse" for supporting Biden's policies and allegedly hiding Biden's inability to function as President. He promised the Trump-Vance ticket would enhance border security, lower inflation and improve the American economy if elected this fall.
