Do you think VP JD Vance’s wife and the fact that she is Hindu and not Christian or Catholic, will be an issue for his chances in the 2028 election?

Do you think Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha Vance and the fact that she is Hindu and not Christian or Catholic, will be an issue for Vance’s chances in the 2028 presidential election?

“This is JD Vance’s biggest political problem in 2028.
How on earth is he going to get the MAGA base to accept her?” - Spencer Hakimian on X - x.com/.../1983709094184939961?s=46

Yes, it will hurt his chances at winning the presidency in 2028

No, MAGA base care more about preventing democrats from winning elections and less about whether or not the front runner’s wife shares the same religious beliefs

Nah, I doubt that. We are not the party of identity. That's those other freaks.

[Miristheiss]

You pick a leader based on their policies, not their spouse.

[Chazmatazz269]

Not at all. Despite what the ignorant and hateful left suggests, Drumpf & Vance were elected because of their platform, not because of their skin color, genitalia or religion. Let alone those of their wives and children.
Vance seems to have his poop in a group. He’s got that going for him. Obama pulling the strings on Biden for his entire presidency set an interesting precedent too. So even people who might not be as confident in Vance will likely vote for him knowing that Drumpf will probably retain some influence.

Apparently JP Mandel was already caught thinking out loud about him preferring his wife converting. Not sure if this was a hot mike situation or what happened exactly, but I assume his wife is not amused.

[Dargil]

Nope. Nothing wrong with that world view. If she were an observant Muslim, it would.

Catholics ARE Christians.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Wow I didn't know JD Vance's wife or that she wasn't Catholic.
I did know JD Vance is Catholic

[blackeagle007]

First off there’s no word that he’s gonna run. It shouldn’t make difference anyway. if an independent or libertarian runs, they’ll wipe the floor of beardo

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't see how religion has anything to do with it.

[msc545]

No. Why would her ethnicity matter to anyone?

[SolitarySolace]

Not her ethnicity. Her religious beliefs.

[msc545]

Okay, her religious beliefs. Why would those matter?

[Chazmatazz269]

They don’t, but the democrats swear to this day that Kamala only lost because she was a black woman running for president in a country full of sexist and racist Christian nationalists.

[msc545]

@Chazmatazz269 I tend to agree with them, although not with the Christian nationalist part. I think it is more that a lot of men distrust women these days (and rightfully so), and a lot of people in the US are also racists.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Probably. Racists run the REPIGLIKSCUM Party !!!

[exitseven]

No, his wife is not an issue,

[darkcloud1945]

The left seems to mostly pick the 30% to back.
