The Republican Party’s moment in the sun didn’t last long. Donald Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance is currently polling at historically low levels for a vice-presidential pick: whereas previous candidates have polled around net +19 percentage points at this stage in the election, the Ohio senator is currently at -6.

A Trump victory has in recent weeks looked all but inevitable, between his survival of an attempted assassination and the Democratic Party’s forced shuffling-out of Joe Biden from the presidential ticket. His veep pick, in that context, must not have seemed like a terrible risk.

But now that Biden has withdrawn and the party is rallying around Kamala Harris, Trump reportedly regrets his choice — though his campaign denies it. Does anyone have Hulk Hogan’s number?
