House Republicans talking about Vance: 9 out of 10 say he's the wrong pick. The only person who can do us serious damage

“He was the worst choice of all the options. It was so bad I didn’t even think it was possible,” one House Republican said. “Anti-Ukraine, more of a populist. He adds nothing to the Trump ticket. He energizes the same people that love Trump.”

“I think if you were to ask many people around this building, 9 out of 10 on our side would say he’s the wrong pick,” a second House Republican said. “He’s the only person who can do serious damage.”

A third House Republican — who said “there is major dissension” to Vance in the conference — argued that if Trump falls short to Vice President Harris in November, Trump’s vice presidential selection will be to blame.

“The prevailing sentiment is if Trump loses, [it’s] because of this pick,” the lawmaker said. “It doesn’t help.”

The anxiety surrounding Vance grew more pronounced after President Biden withdrew from the 2024 race and threw his support behind Harris, a move that is energizing Democrats, boosting their campaign coffers and turning the political landscape upside down.

“I was concerned the whole time, but now it’s really concerning,” a fourth House Republican said. “It doesn’t make it any easier.”
