Vance says he’s ‘thrilled’ to have support from 'Kennedy Democrats’

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the Republican vice-presidential nominee, said he’s “thrilled” to have the support of “Kennedy Democrats” after former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ended his campaign and backed former President Trump’s White House bid on Friday.

Vance said he has no hesitation about accepting Kennedy’s endorsement, despite some controversial statements Kennedy has made in the past including suggesting vaccines could cause autism and saying he “won’t take sides” on what happened on Sept.
