Would Vance Be Redundant?

While Vance is a perfect pairing for Trump in many ways, many political strategists have opined that he’s unnecessary. The Ohio Senator bleeds MAGA and would be massively popular with Trump’s base, but he’s not going to pull in any moderates.

Burgum and Rubio would both be better suited to assuaging fears of an extreme MAGA ticket.

Trump may not particularly care, though. In the latest Presidential Election odds – in the wake of Saturday’s assassination attempt – Trump had shortened to -275 to win a second, non-consecutive term in the White House. Biden’s odds have faded to +450 as calls remain for him to step down as the Democratic nominee due to decline health and mental acuity.

Sportsbooks in non-North American jurisdictions were showing Vance shorten in the early hours of Monday morning.
