Vance is smart and quick on his feet, so he's not likely to be a pushover.

Folks are forgetting that Vance...went to Yale law and ran their Law Journal there. Folks underestimating him do so at their own peril.

In fact...here's what one of Kamala's former staffers had to say about Vance before he was the pick:

Video here: X (Twitter): Alayna Treene on X: "Kamala Harris’s former Comms director, Ashley Etienne, says she thinks JD Vance “would pose the greatest threat” to Harris in a VP debate C

"I think JD Vance would pose the greatest threat [to] Kamala Harris, in some respects. I mean he's an incredible debater," Etienne told CNN. "I think he has this quality that makes him seem palpable to that one to two percent that actually might vote or that is undecided, that will actually pay attention to the debates because most people don't pay attention to the debates."

Etienne, who also served as deputy assistant to President Biden after his 2020 victory, said Vance is "super smart," "quick-witted" and could pose a threat to Harris on the debate stage.

"I think he's just got a quality about him where he's super smart and sharp and quick-witted. I just think it's going to be a challenge to see the two of them face-to-face. I mean, maybe it's just me, but I think he's going to be the greatest threat," she said.
