Trump addresses Vance’s past ‘Never Trump’ comments in first joint interview
SUMMARY
In their first joint interview, former President Donald Trump addressed Sen. J.D. Vance’s past anti-Trump remarks. Trump explained on "Jesse Watters Primetime" that despite Vance’s earlier "Never Trump" stance, their relationship evolved positively over time. Trump noted, “We’ve always had good chemistry, and originally, J.D. was probably not for me, but he didn’t know me. And then when we got to know each other, he liked me maybe more than anyone liked me.” Trump also mentioned that Vance has been a strong supporter, saying, “He would stick up for me and he would fight for the worker as much as I would fight for the worker.” This evolution in their relationship culminated in Trump's endorsement of Vance for the Senate, which Vance won.
