Fox’s Steve Doocy Asks Trump If He Regrets His VP Pick: ‘You’re Still 100% Behind JD Vance, Right?’

Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy asked former President Donald Trump if had any regrets about his 2024 running mate JD Vance during a telephone interview on Thursday morning.

“Mr. President. You know, it was just about a week ago that you selected JD Vance to be your running mate. Now, we know that at that point, you didn’t know that Kamala Harris was going to be your main opponent,” Doocy began, adding:

But now, she is. And I’m sure you’ve seen there have been a couple of stories out that say they wonder whether or not you feel you made the right pick, given the fact you didn’t realize you were going to be running against a woman, who might now try to pick a running mate to deliver a key state or a demographic or anything like that. You’re still 100% behind JD Vance, right?

“He’s fantastic. Yeah. No, it wouldn’t have mattered. And I thought she was probably going to happen anyway, because I know. I knew there was a palace coup going on, and I assumed that she’d be probably getting it,” Trump replied.

“She had the advantage. So, yeah, it wouldn’t matter now. He’s doing a fantastic job because, he’s essentially for the worker. He’s seen the worker be horribly abused and taken advantage of and he’s for their work. And that’s what his book is about. That’s what his that’s where his feelings about, you know, he’s for the worker. No. He’s great. He’s doing a great job. And he’s been very well received,” added the GOP nominee for president.

CNN’s Harry Enten discussed the latest polling on Vance’s approval rating and noted that the Ohio senator is “making history in the completely wrong way.”

Enten noted that Vance has a minus 6 point favorability rating, which makes him the first VP candidate since 1980 to have a net negative approval rating following their nominating convention.
