I think Trump is going to dump Vance
The polling is already shifting markedly away from Trump toward Harris. Harris is going to get a big convention bump. Trump is going to look for somebody to blame, and Vance is the most obvious target.
Donald Trump’s vice presidential pick JD Vance said in 2021 that “we have to go to war” against the idea that women can decide not to have children, suggesting that someone who focuses on building their career instead of making babies will be “a sad, lonely, pathetic person.” . . .
Citing a conversation that had recently unfolded on Twitter, Vance described a “ridiculous effort by millennial feminist writers” to talk about why there are good reasons not to have children, how some of them were glad they didn’t have kids and even some “encouraging people who had had children to talk about why they regretted having children.”
He criticized these unnamed “mediocre millennial journalists” and suggested that if they’re advocating for women to focus on advancing their careers over making babies, they are “pathetic.”

There’s going to be more and more of this stuff.
