Peter Hartcher on the mood in America - and Trump's millennial VP pick
Manage episode 429415985 series 2446205
Who is JD Vance? And why has Donald Trump chosen him as his preferred vice president?
Vance is, famously, a former 'Never-Trumper'. The junior senator from Ohio was once so violently opposed to Trump, that he likened him to Hitler.
Today, political and international editor, Peter Hartcher, reporting from Washington DC, on the wider message Trump is sending to the world, with his choice of running mate. And why the United States has a long history of presidential assassinations and assassination attempts (hint: it’s not just about the guns).
