Donald Trump is still the king of the GOP -- J.D. Vance just proved why
CNN
It took J.D. Vance only four days to understand just how much control Donald Trump has over the Republican Party these days.
Vance, the author of the critically acclaimed memoir "Hillbilly Elegy," formally entered the Ohio Republican US Senate primary on July 1. By July 5, he was apologizing for (and deleting) past tweets that were critical of Trump. In posts first unearthed by CNN's KFile, Vance repeatedly bashed Trump during the 2016 campaign -- calling the billionaire businessman "reprehensible" and saying that "in 4 years, I hope people remember that it was those of us who empathized with Trump's voters who fought him most aggressively." Vance also tweeted out that he had voted for Evan McMullin in the 2016 election.More Related News
