    The Vance pick had nothing to do with the campaign. When Trump picked Vance he thought that he was guaranteed a victory. He picked Vance to ingratiate himself with Silicon Valley during his Presidency.

      Trump picked Vance because he has an Indian wife and could counter a Harris VP with “I’m not racist, look who I married!”

      That got blown up when Harris was elevated and going against Trump.
