A political newcomer and former Trump critic turned ally, the senator is an ambitious, telegenic ideologue who relishes the spotlight and has already shown he can energize donors.

    Eh, I don’t think I would call it optimism lol. They still have a very good chance of winning and Vance is worse than Pence (while it’s a very a very low bar, he at least stood up to Trump in the end). Vance will be Trump’s lapdog.

    I only think he does not help Trump’s chances electorally; his stance on divorce is easily exploitable. Wanting women to stay in violent marriages “for the good of the children” is a completely boneheaded thing to say out loud (in addition to just being a deplorable stance overall).
