As Senator J.D. Vance heads to the Republican National Convention, there is growing speculation that he might be a good choice to be President Trump’s running mate.

Trump appears to have chosen J.D. Vance, an opponent of Ukrainian democracy who echoes Putin’s claims — the same J.D. Vance who claimed Joe Biden was responsible for the Republican shooting at a Trump rally last weekend.
If Vance is elected, it would be a sign that Trump has no interest in national unity and is leaning toward far-right authoritarianism.
The media should stop treating Trump kindly just because he cut his ear on a shard of teleprompter glass when someone tried to attack him.
The right question is: why are people trying to shoot Donald Trump, and what role have Trump’s actions and rhetoric played in creating a culture of political violence?
Major media outlets have been taking hosts off the air for fear of criticizing Trump, but if Trump chooses J.D. Vance, it will show everyone the democracy-killing system that Trump is trying to realize.
