*A message from the TNDP*

Hello Tennessee Democratic Leaders,

Today, Donald Trump selected JD Vance as his Vice Presidential running mate. Under the beard JD Vance may be trying to hide who he truly is. Here are a few talking points from the DNC and Biden Campaign that we should be amplifying across our state to remind people of who he really is.

The violent events over the weekend were unfortunate and we condemn those heinous acts. However, our fight for the democracy of this nation and our quest to defeat Donald Trump continues.

 

JD Vance Messaging Guidance:

Trump picked J.D. Vance as his running mate because Vance will do what Mike Pence wouldn’t on January 6: bend over backwards to enable Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda, even if it means breaking the law and no matter the harm to the American people.

 

• Vance has called Donald Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda full of “good ideas,” and as a vice president would make it his mission to implement Project 2025.

• Here’s what else America needs to know about J.D. Vance and his extreme agenda:
  Vance’s views on reproductive freedom and women’s rights would take us back decades. He supports a nationwide ban on abortion, and criticizedopposes exceptions for rape and incest survivors – saying “two wrongs don’t make a right” and calling those circumstances “inconvenient.” And, he wants women to stay in “violent” marriages.

• • He’s admitted he would not have certified the 2020 election results, echoes Trump’s baseless election denial lies, and has repeatedly attempted to whitewash the January 6 insurrection.

  • He’s railed against the Affordable Care Act, which provides protections for millions of Americans with preexisting conditions.

  • He’s called Social Security and Medicare “the biggest roadblocks to any kind of real fiscal sanity.”

  • Vance has a reputation as one of the most far-right extremists in Washington, calling MTG “a friend” and endorsing a January 6 rally attendee for Congress.

• Americans now have a choice between two starkly contrasting visions for our future: the Biden-Harris ticket who’s focused on uniting the country, creating opportunity for everyone, and lowering costs; or Trump-Vance – whose harmful agenda will take away Americans’ rights, hurt the middle class, and make life more expensive – all while benefiting the ultra-rich and greedy corporations.
