Philadelphia — Last week, Ohio senator J. D. Vance was warming up to his new role on the Donald Trump campaign, crisscrossing the country to counter-program Kamala Harris’s battleground-state campaign blitz.

“Everywhere she goes, chaos and uncertainty follow,” Vance told a crowd of supporters and reporters at a campaign event in South Philadelphia last Tuesday, before handing the floor to local Philadelphia residents who have been affected by crime and drug addiction under the current administration.
