Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin on Thursday singled out Vice President JD Vance for his support of the Republican Party’s reconciliation bill, saying he sold out his values and his old constituents by backing the legislation.
“Of all the people who betrayed folks this week and today, the one we’re going to make sure pays for it is JD Vance,” Martin told NOTUS in an interview.
Martin’s pointed criticism was a reminder that as much as Democrats plan to use the bill to target congressional Republicans and President Donald Trump ahead of next year’s midterm elections, they also see it as a cudgel against the vice president should he run for president in 2028.
