'Alarmed': GOP strategist blasts J.D. Vance's 'insane' response on democracy question

Former President Donald Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, cannot brush off his dismissal of democracy, longtime GOP strategist and focus grouper Sarah Longwell wrote on X Wednesday.

Vance was considered by political pundits to have debated more skillfully in at least the first half of the bout with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, but polling suggests debate viewers felt Walz won on several issues and even forced Vance to a draw on many conventionally GOP-favoring issues like immigration and the economy.
