MoveOn Reacts to Trump Selection of JD Vance as Running Mate

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the news that Donald Trump selected JD Vance to be his vice presidential nominee, MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting released the following statement: 

“JD Vance supports abortion bans—just like Donald Trump. JD Vance defended insurrectionists storming the Capitol on January 6—just like Donald Trump. JD Vance wants to use power to help the wealthy and well connected and to seek revenge on his political opponents—just like Donald Trump.

“At a time when our nation is deeply divided, JD Vance’s selection only divides us further and harms any effort to unite this country. MoveOn members remain committed to defeating the Trump-Vance ticket and their MAGA allies up and down the ballot in this election. We will do the work to unite this country against MAGA extremism.”
