Harris Campaign Wishes Trump ‘Sidekick’ a ‘Happy’ Birthday: ‘Most Unpopular VP Pick in American History’

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign wished Sen. JD Vance a happy 40th birthday on Friday, and let’s just say it didn’t get the “well wishes” from the greeting card aisle at CVS.

Last month, former President Donald Trump chose Vance to be his vice presidential running mate. The rollout has been less than smooth, to put it mildly. Vance was the first VP pick since at least 2000 to come out of his party’s convention with a net negative favorability rating, of negative six points . He lost even more ground the following week and dropped to -15 .

Democrats have been circulating clips of Vance making demeaning comments about “childless cat ladies” and other childless Americans who “don’t really have a direct stake” in the country.  The senator has also proposed that parents get an additional vote for each child they have.

On Friday night, the Harris campaign tweeted birthday greetings to the 40-year-old former venture capitalist and author of the bestselling Hillbilly Elegy :

Happy Birthday to JD Vance

“At 78 and 40, Donald Trump and his sidekick, the most unpopular VP pick in American history, are running on an agenda to drag our country backwards, reverse the progress we’ve made, and ensure Americans have fewer freedoms in the next generation than they had in the last.

Voters won’t stand for it, and it’s why they’re already rejecting the Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda to rip away our freedoms, jack up costs on the middle class, and fan the flames of hatred and division. While we wish JD a happy 40th, the American people will make certain that he celebrates his 41st anywhere but the White House.”

The day before, Vance attacked Harris as “a chameleon.”

“Kamala Harris is a chameleon,” he told CNN. “She goes to Georgia two days ago. She was raised in Canada, she puts on a fake southern accent. She is everything to everybody and she pretends to be somebody different depending on which audience she’s in front of.”

Previously, Vance was one of Trump’s harshest critics, saying former president “might be America’s Hitler.”
