Dem Strategist Spots How Trump Is ‘Punishing’ Vance With His ‘Turn Black’ Remarks

Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg explained why it’s “clear” to him that former President Donald Trump is regretting picking Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate.

“He’s aware that it’s dragging the entire ticket down and I think in his own diseased brain he started punishing Vance by now raising this issue of biracial heritage and everything else,” said Rosenberg in a recent interview with the MeidasTouch Network.

Trump, in a disastrous Q&A at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on Wednesday, made a racist claim about Vice President Kamala Harris’ identity and declared that she “happened to turn Black.”

The Democratic strategist, earlier in the interview, told host Ben Meiselas that Trump’s comments could cause “even more significant” estrangement between the former president and his VP pick, whose wife Usha Vance is a child of Indian immigrants.

He said Trump’s “disaster” VP choice was one of three things that contributed to “this magical moment” in the 2024 election cycle.

“It sort of, I think, scared even Republicans given how extreme he was. It was a, it put downward pressure on their convention bounce,” Rosenberg said.

He continued, “Two is Joe Biden’s selfless act and three is Kamala Harris coming out of the gate in a very commanding and strong fashion.”

Rosenberg added that the three events “have congealed into this moment that we’re in.”

“But central to them was Trump’s picking of Vance and Vance’s just outrageous extremism, the crazy things that he’s saying,” said Rosenberg, who added that there’s no way to prevent “new crazy stuff” from resurfacing about Vance.

“And I have a feeling that’s gonna go on for weeks and weeks to come. And there’s no way for them to turn that off and so I don’t really know what they’re gonna do.”
