JD Vance charges that Kamala Harris is ‘calling the shots’ in the White House

HENDERSON, Nev. – Sen. JD Vance pinned the blame on Vice President Kamala Harris Tuesday for “every failure” under the Biden administration, charging that she’s been “calling th🐻e shots” in the White House. 

The O꧅hio Republican and GOP vice presidential nominee, speaking before a packed gymnasium of several thousand at Liberty High School here, argued that Harris, 59, played an outsized role in the current administration because of President Biden’s cognitive decline. 

“Kamala Harris owns every failure of the Biden administration over the last four year🎃s,” Vance told the crowd. 

“He didn’t know what w🤡as going on,” he said of the 81-year-old president. “So somebody was calling the shots, and we know it was Kamala Harris.”

Vance, 39, accused Harris, who’s likely to secure the Democratic nomination for president next week, of being responsible for the crisis of the southern border and record-high inflation under Biden – urging Nevadans to elect former President Donald Trump in November to “take our country back.”&nbꦕsp;

Inflation and immigration are regularly listed as top concerns for 🍒💎voters heading into Election Day.

The “Hillbilly Elegy” author further alleged that Harris helped “cover up” Biden’s “declining mental capacity for years,” calling🤪 it the “worst of all” her “faults.” 

“Anyone who is too blind to see Biden’s incompetenꦫce, or more likely, too dishonest to admit iඣt, is not fit to serve as commander in chief of this country,” Vance asserted, referring to the vice president. 

Vance’s🐼 appearance in Henderson – a booming suburb of Las Vegas – was one of two stops Trump’s running mate made in the key swin𝓰g state on Tuesday.

The Ohio senaജtor also held a rally in Reno, Nev., in the evening. 

Vance was briefly interrupted by a malfunctioning microphone at the second event, leading him to quip, 🦋“I’ve been told this is an American made microphone” whe♒n handed a new mic.

“Kamala Harris was rated the most liberal senator in the entire US during her tenure,” he said at the Reno rally, honing his attacks on the vice president. “That is not a reasonable moderate, that is a crazy record.” 

“She is dangerously liberal and she will never be the president of the United States because we’re not going to let her,” he added. 

Vance also joked that he wouldn’t be bringing his wife, Usha Vance, on stage because she would make him “sleep on the couch” if he did.

A Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll released last week showed Trump leading Harris in Nevada by 2 p൩ercentage points.&nb🐽sp; 

The Silver State went for Biden in the 2020 electi✤on by less than𒈔 3 points. 

Karie Harwood was one of many who trekked across ☂the Las Vegas valley to see the Republican vice presidential nominee in Henderson.

Was she concerned about Democratic criticisms of Vance’s “childless cat lady“ remarks?

“I think it’s garbage,” she told The Post. “Because I think a lot of pe♋ople have taken simple things that he said – that didn’t, that didn’t mean it as that – and they’ve turned it into somethiജng else.”

“I came to see JD Vance’s heart,” said retiree⛦ Patricia Robertson of Las Vegas, callingꦡ him “a good guy.” 

Physicist Wayne Moore of Henderson said he believes the GOP pre🤡sidential ticket will carry the Silver🍸 State for the first time in two decades.

“I see a movement that is so st𝓡rong that I don’t think there’s any way can be overcome,” he told T♐he Post in Nevada. “Now the down ticket is a more concern. But the Trump and JD I think they’re a cinch.”

In a marked contrast to most Democratic events in the state, an overflow crowd of hundreds packed out the high school’s cafeteria t𓆏o hear Vance speak. 

Trump, 78, did not attend the rally, bܫut his supporters waited in 95 degree heat to get past security checkpoints for the chance to listen to his running mate.
