Friday the 13th is one spooky day \u2013 but voters have been scared off by JD Vance every day for two months since he joined Donald Trump\u2019s ticket and became the most<\/a> unpopular<\/a> VP nominee in decades. As Vance prepares to attempt to clean up for Trump\u2019s disastrous debate performance and his own toxic extremism this weekend, here are some questions he needs to answer on Sunday:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Will you vote again<\/a> next week<\/a> to block legislation protecting IVF access nationwide that you previously said would be \u201cidiotic<\/a>\u201d to support?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Why do you want to pursue Trump\u2019s<\/a> Project 2025 plan to ban medication abortion<\/a> and push for \u201cabortion to be illegal nationally<\/a>?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Do you agree with Trump\u2019s baseless lie<\/a> that he won the 2020 election (that he lost by over 7 million votes)?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Do you commit to voting to certify this November\u2019s election results, or will you want to ask \u201cthe states<\/a>\u201d to submit slates of fake electors like you said you would have in 2020 this week?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Why do you continue<\/a> to<\/a> whitewash<\/a> the violence of January 6? Can you acknowledge that the mob of insurrectionists that day chanted<\/a> to hang Mike Pence and injured<\/a> 140 police officers?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Do you think it\u2019s smart for Trump to associate himself with racist<\/a> conspiracy theorist<\/a> and self-described \u201cpro-white nationalism<\/a>\u201d advocate Laura Loomer? And why are you cozying up<\/a> to Tucker Carlson right after he elevated a Holocaust denier?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Exactly which of the extreme plans in Project 2025 do you think are \u201cgood ideas<\/a>?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Have you seen Trump\u2019s \u201cconcepts of a plan<\/a>\u201d about how to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and why is repealing the ACA a \u201cpriority<\/a>\u201d for the Trump-Vance ticket?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Why are you and Trump proposing an \u201cinflation bomb<\/a>\u201d that would raise taxes<\/a> on middle-class families, slow<\/a> economic growth, and blow up<\/a> the deficit while gifting tax breaks<\/a> to billionaires and big corporations<\/a>?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Do you regret calling gun violence a \u201cfact of life<\/a>\u201d and among \u201cfake problems<\/a>,\u201d and do you still think efforts to address it are \u201ca huge distraction<\/a>?\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Why would you want to privatize<\/a> VA services?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  12. Is it embarrassing when Trump tries to distance<\/a> himself<\/a> from you because you are the most<\/a> unpopular<\/a> VP<\/a> nominee<\/a> in decades?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  13. What\u2019s your End Game in attacking<\/a> one of the most popular artists on the planet? Any other \u201cchildless cat ladies\u201d you want to offend<\/a>?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
