Right choice?????

GOP Sen. Tillis won't say if Vance was the right choice for vice president

From CNN's Morgan Rimmer

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis would not say if JD Vance was the right pick to be former President Donald Trump’s running mate.

“I’ve never been in a selection pool for VP, so I don’t necessarily – I’m not going to opine on that,” the North Carolina senator told CNN’s Manu Raju.

Pressed on whether Vance, a first-term Ohio senator, was a good candidate, Tillis replied: “I know JD well. I’ve gotten to know him pretty well over the past couple of years. I think he’s a smart guy. I think that the Biden – or the Trump campaign picked him for a reason. I’m behind the ticket.”

Tillis’s comments come as Vance has hit some bumps in his first several weeks as the Republican vice presidential nominee. 

CNN reported earlier Thursday that Vance has a more active calendar going forward, as he looks to make a second pass at introducing himself to voters following an uneven rollout.
