Ex-Trump Aide Says JD Vance Achieved 1 Thing For Sure With His Debate Performance
HuffPost
Alyssa Farah Griffin said the vice presidential debate probably won't move the needle in the election, but it did solidify something in MAGA world.
Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin said JD Vance’s vice presidential debate performance on Tuesday likely secured his spot as the “MAGA heir apparent.”
Griffin, now a political commentator, predicted that Vance’s showing against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) likely won’t make a difference in terms of next month’s election. But she suggested it will fly well among supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“I was struck by the fact that JD Vance is a significantly more eloquent Donald Trump,” Griffin said on CNN’s post-debate analysis. “Watching that, I don’t agree with JD Vance on quite a bit, but he speaks to MAGA in a way that he comes off as an incredibly effective communicator.”
“JD Vance is a chameleon,” she added of the Republican, a U.S. senator from Ohio. “There’s multiple sides to him. It’s one of his greatest political strengths.”
Griffin acknowledge that Vance said “some untrue things,” but he “tried to show the side of empathy with him that I found myself believing it.”
