EMILY’s List President Jessica Mackler said voters are living in a “state of chaos and cruelty” because of Trump’s record on reproductive rights.
As former President Donald Trump moves closer to selecting his running mate, a major Democratic abortion-rights advocacy group is taking his pool of vice presidential contenders to task over their records on reproductive rights.
EMILY’s List, a group dedicated to electing Democratic candidates who back abortion rights, is focusing its annual “On Notice” list on Trump’s ever-evolving list of running mate contenders to highlight what it calls their “extreme anti-abortion agenda.”
The list of 14 GOP contenders for the vice presidential nomination the group names includes oft-mentioned figures like Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, as well as other former administration officials and allies, like Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama and Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake.
The group also lists former Republican presidential candidates like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
Good luck finding a non-extremist in the GOP. They are all nutters, one way or the other.
Just ask John McCain how well things went after naming cuckoobananas Sarah Palin his VP.
I love the word “cuckoobananas”.
Wow what a fine selection to choose from
Back in the day, Richard Nixon picked fire eater Spiro Agnew as his Veep. Agnew’s job was to play to the base with hard Right rhetoric, while Nixon got to sit back and play the statesman.
I could see Trump doing the reverse; pick a ‘moderate’ like Speaker Johnson to play off that his second term would be kinder and gentler.
I wouldn’t be surprised at this point if he chose one of his kids to be the VP.
I’m betting he chooses a woman, to help undo some of the damage from Roe.
What’s Stacey Dash up to these days?
Being Clueless.
We’re so far off the rails that Johnson is considered a moderate.
Ronald Reagan has entered the chat.
People actually voted for a guy who was second billed to a chimp. These people will do anything to avoid thinking.
Hey that Chimp had gravitas.
It’s pretty telling that two of Conservatisms most successful leaders were actors. They can’t find anyone who really believes in all the policies so they have to hire actors and give them a script.
Calling Trump an actor is being very generous.
Well he DID play a successful businessman in The Apprentice…
Granted, most of it was deceptive editing, but his cult STILL believes that character was real!
