J.D. Vance on Polls: We Don’t Hide Behind the Teleprompter and People Will Like That

Ingraham: “Senator, people, I guess they do these polls and they say, oh, your favorability isn’t as high as Tim Walz’s. You know, there’s a gender gap for your ticket compared to Harris and Walz. How do you go to the undecideds at this point, the shrinking pool of people, and convince them that not only are you serious and you’re seriously smart, but you’re a regular person. I’ve known you for a long time. You’re really fun. You’re really funny, versus the giggle and vibe show that seems to work for a lot of women voters out there?”

Vance: “You know, Laura, my approach to this is just to get out there and meet as many people as possible. And I know this is Donald Trump’s approach too. We don’t do the scripted stuff. We don’t only speak in front of a teleprompter. We actually like to get out there and give some unscripted remarks and press conferences and also just go out there and talk to people. And that’s what I’m going to keep on doing, Laura. I don’t put much stock in the polls, even the polls that show us ahead, and there are a lot of those these days. What I put stock in is the wisdom of the American people and the fact that if we go out there, make our case, don’t hide behind a teleprompter, but get out there and meet people, the American people are going to like me and Donald Trump. I have no doubt about that. We just have to do our work, and we’ve got 65 days to do it.”
