JD Vance on ‘This Joy Thing’: Democrats ‘Say They Are Joyful,’ Yet Actual Message ‘Dark and Ominous’

SUMMARY

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) fired back at Democrats for their use of “joy” in Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, describing it as misleading. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Vance said, “About this joy thing, dude, the thing I don’t understand is they say they are joyful, yet you actually watch their convention, it’s actually pretty dark and ominous.” He argued that the Democratic National Convention’s focus was on negative attacks rather than constructive policies. Vance contrasted this with the GOP’s vision, which he described as one that supports hard work, fair wages, and community safety. He added, “Their entire argument is that if you vote for Donald Trump and you want to change the direction of this country, you’re a bad person.”
