Chuck Schumer said on Sunday, July 28, that Donald Trump should change his "incredibly bad choice" of JD Vance as his running mate. The Senate Majority Leader addressed "the addition of JD Vance" to the GOP ticket during a discussion on CBS’ Face the Nation.

‘Trump is sitting there scratching his head and wondering, ‘Why did I pick this guy?’’

"It’s an incredibly bad choice," Schumer said. "I think Donald Trump, I know him, and he's probably sitting and watching the TV, and every day, Vance, it comes out Vance has done something more extreme, more weird, more erratic. Vance seems to be more erratic and more extreme than President Trump."

"And I'll bet President Trump is sitting there scratching his head and wondering, ‘Why did I pick this guy?’ The choice may be one of the best things he ever did for Democrats," he said, adding that the former president “has about 10 days – 10 days before the Ohio ballot is locked in."

"And he has a choice: does he keep Vance on the ticket?" Schumer added. "He already has a whole lot of baggage, he's probably going to be more baggage over the weeks because we'll hear more things about him, or does he pick someone new? What's his choice?"
