In response to MAGA Republicans stumbling to defend Donald Trump and JD Vance\u2019s extreme and unpopular rhetoric and Project 2025 agenda on the Sunday shows, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Spokesperson Addison Dick released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA minions are struggling to defend his extreme and flailing campaign on the airwaves, Trump is proving he can\u2019t do any better himself as he continues to chicken out on a second debate with Vice President Harris. Trump knows he is running on a wildly unpopular and out-of-touch agenda \u2013 and that voters are ready to reject his extreme MAGA ticket this November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Cotton and Lindsey Graham defended Donald Trump\u2019s decision to back out of another debate with Vice President Harris because he is scared to defend his failed record and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert Costa, CBS News<\/a>: \u201cFormer President Trump, even though there are just a few weeks left in the campaign, has so far said he does not want to participate in another debate with Vice President Harris. Is that a mistake? Do the American people deserve to hear more from former President Trump and the Vice President about their views?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cotton: *Refuses to answer*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costa<\/a>: \u201cShould Trump debate again?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cotton: \u201cThere’s no- he’s already debated twice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jake Tapper, CNN<\/a>: \u201c[Trump] has not agreed to do another presidential debate. Do you think that he should? For example, Kamala Harris has accepted CNNs invitation if they want to do another presidential debate. He liked the debate we did last time. He thought we were fair. He thought the rules were fair. \u2026 Should he do another debate?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham: \u201cI’m gonna leave it up to him, <\/strong>but I’d like to see it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Emmer could not answer for JD Vance\u2019s historic unpopularity as he helps him prepare for this week\u2019s upcoming VP debate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Martha Raddatz, ABC News<\/a>: \u201cRecent national polls found anywhere from four in 10 to six in 10 voters hold unfavorable views of JD Vance.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmer<\/a>: \u201cI think JD is very likeable and I think he\u2019s well liked. And I don\u2019t buy into these snapshot polls that are being done for a specific reason.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsweek<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance Is the Least Liked VP Nominee in Decades, According to Polls\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsweek<\/a>: \u201cNearly four in 10 people do not believe Donald Trump\u2019s running mate, JD Vance, is ready for the presidency if necessary, according to a new survey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ABC News<\/a>: \u201cVance preparing for VP debate with Tom Emmer playing Walz\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katie Britt refused to answer why Senate Republicans \u2013 including Vance \u2013 voted against protecting IVF access nationwide after Trump put it at risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Bream, Fox News<\/a>: \u201cYou voted against a measure though that was offered up by Democrats on IVF in the Senate<\/strong> there, and they continue to point to that to say Republicans aren’t supportive of protecting IVF. Why did you vote no?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britt: \u201cSo Shannon, I’m so glad you brought this up.<\/strong> \u2026 [Senator Chuck Schumer] chose to put an IVF bill on the floor for a show vote.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New York Times<\/a>: \u201c[The Alabama ruling was] made possible by the Supreme Court\u2019s overturning of Roe v. Wade in its 2022 Dobbs decision, which was a result of Mr. Trump\u2019s appointment of three justices.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN<\/a>: \u201cHow the reversal of Roe v. Wade led to the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that frozen embryos are children\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independent<\/a>: \u201cJD Vance didn\u2019t even show up to vote on [IVF protections].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hill<\/a>: \u201cSenate Republicans block legislation to codify IVF access\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Republicans who voted against include: JD Vance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HuffPost<\/a>: \u201cDonald Trump Has Deep Ties To Anti-IVF Movement\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmer and Graham stumbled over themselves to defend Trump\u2019s extreme and offensive rhetoric on the campaign trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raddatz<\/a>: \u201cDo you approve of that language, Donald Trump calling her mentally disabled, mentally impaired?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmer: \u201cI think we should stick on the issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mediaite<\/a>: \u201cLindsey Graham Defends Trump Calling Kamala Harris \u2018Mentally Disabled\u2019 By Arguing Her Policies Are \u2018Batsh*t Crazy\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
