Trump shooting fallout: Ohio experts say assassination attempt could galvanize base
Columbus Dispatch: Matthew Lacombe, the Alexander P. Lamis Associate Professor in American Politics in the Department of Political Science, said that J.D. Vance, Trump’s new running mate, likely secured the position after blaming the former president’s attempted assassination on the Biden campaign. “J.D. Vance, aiming for the vice-presidential spot, likely believed his statement would resonate with Trump and his campaign supporters,” Lacombe said. “However, it appears he misjudged the situation, as his comments came across as quite insensitive.”
