On Friday, Republican vice-presidential candidate J.D. Vance revealed that if Donald Trump wins the White House this November, he would likely appoint a Democrat to his Cabinet.
“We actually got a lot of great Democratic support. We just got RFK [Jr.], of course, and Tulsi Gabbard, who endorsed the president in just the last couple of days,” Vance said during an interview on “Fox and Friends,” referring to recent endorsements from Kennedy and Gabbard, the former House member from Hawaii who left the Democratic Party in 2022.
Vance’s comments came shortly after Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, said in her first sit-down interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on Thursday that she would consider appointing a Republican to a Cabinet position if she wins the election.
“I think it’s important to have people at the table – when some of the most important decisions are being made – that have different views, different experiences,” Harris said, though she didn’t name a specific individual. “And I think it would be to the benefit of the American public to have a member of my Cabinet who was a Republican.”
Vance, whom Trump tapped as his running mate in mid-July, argued that Trump’s appeal spans a variety of voters, even if they don’t agree on all of his policy proposals.
“If you look at the Trump movement in 2024, it’s actually the common sense big tent movement in American politics,” Vance said. “We don’t agree on everything. Of course, not everybody who votes for Donald Trump is going to agree with every policy issue, but we agree on the basics.”
“We agree that American energy prices should be lower. We agree that we should be making more of our own stuff in the United States of America,” he continued. “We agree that we should close down the border and stop the flow of illegal drugs and trafficking into our country. It’s just the basic common sense stuff.”
