JD Vance takes on role as Trump's explainer-in-chief during campaign

JD Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio, has taken on the role of "explainer-in-chief" for Donald Trump during the campaign. He frequently defends and clarifies Trump's controversial statements in interviews and press conferences, often downplaying their impact. Vance's shift from Trump critic to loyal supporter is notable. He now interprets Trump's remarks, such as those about Kamala Harris and Detroit, while maintaining alignment with Trump's views, including his claims about the 2020 election. Despite some voters viewing Vance negatively, his approval ratings have slightly improved. He continues to navigate the challenges of defending Trump's rhetoric while avoiding direct contradictions, emphasizing the need for law enforcement in potential election-related unrest.
