Vance Tells House Republicans to ‘Just Talk About Abdul El-Sayed’ if Their Own Opponents Aren’t ‘that Crazy’
Vance told lawmakers to blame Democrats and use prominent Senate candidates as foils while raising $10 billion for GOP campaigns.
- On Tuesday, Vice President Vance urged House Republicans to use Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed as a "boogeyman" if their own opponents are not "that crazy," during a closed-door meeting 49 days before the midterms.
- Vance acknowledged Americans' economic frustrations with a more candid tone than President Donald Trump, while encouraging GOP lawmakers to blame Democrats for problems they have been fixing for 18 months.
- The vice president also criticized Texas Democratic nominee James Talarico, saying he has "said a lot of weird stuff," and touted a $10 billion fundraising goal for GOP candidates in the campaign's final weeks.
- Arguing that voters "are not dumb," Vance advised lawmakers to be honest about economic struggles without pretending everything is perfect, a tactic he claimed is more effective than ignoring reality.
- With 65% of voters saying policies have worsened economic conditions according to a CNN poll, the strategy addresses growing discontent among Americans that complicates the administration's campaign messaging efforts.
