The Republican vice presidential nominee told a New York Times podcast that he is complex and that he regrets saying ‘childless cat ladies’. Sort of.
The Republican vice presidential nominee and first-term senator from Ohio is talking to reporters at campaign rallies. He is scheduling network and cable interviews. And he is sitting down withSomething has shifted in American politics when it is noteworthy that a candidate willingly faces one unscripted question after another. But here we are.Here are five takeaways from Vance’s interview:Donald Trump seems unlikely to describe himself as reflective. Vance cannot stop.
The interview quickly moves on to questions about specific issues and moments, but Vance returns again and again to this theme. It is also part of his strategy with the news media, which is not to doubt his sincerity. But Vance, a onetime Never Trumper now campaigning by the former president’s side as his running mate, understands that the nation’s fractured mediascape means that audiences for different media outlets will have contrasting opinions about him.
Still, he defended the sentiment behind the phrase, and traced the inception of that opinion to a moment when he was a young Ivy League law school student riding a commuter train in the north-east and watched a poor black mother and her children.Vance, whose family received government assistance when he was young, remembered admiring the mother’s patience with her young children, who were misbehaving, while other passengers projected annoyance or frustration at being disturbed.
He said he would not include Vice President Kamala Harris in that category. “I should have put this in a better way,” he said about the controversy. “But the point still remains.”That was Vance’s unlikely response to a question about one of his most provocative leaked emails, in which he proclaimed to a friend a decade ago, “I hate the police”.
But joining the Republican presidential ticket as Trump’s running mate means there is no escaping the former president’s unresolved grievances, including his four-year insistence that he was cheated out of a second term.
