Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, talked to News 12 about the selection of Senator J.D. Vance as former President Donald Trump’s running mate in the presidential race.



“It’s a little surprising that he didn’t try to expand his base a little bit because it’s almost certain that the people who are going decide this election, our moderate middle of the road, suburban voters, most of whom are unhappy with Donald Trump after having supported him in 2016. J.D. Vance does almost nothing to build those bridges in some circles. Actually instead of a bridge builder, he is considered a bridge burner.”
