JD Vance is feeling optimistic about the election results after casting his vote for Donald Trump in Cincinnati. Speaking to reporters outside St. Anthony of Padua Church Tuesday morning, the Ohio state senator said that he and his wife had cast their ballots in favour of the former president. The GOP vice presidential nominee acknowledged that the 2024 race is closely divided, noting that should Americans “vote the wrong way” and elect Kamala Harris, “I’m still going to love you.”

Vance also thanked those who came out to participate in “one of the great traditions in American democracy.” “I felt good about my own race a couple years ago when I voted in this exact same spot. Hopefully, it goes as well for President Trump and me as it went for me a couple years ago in the state of Ohio,” Vance went on, adding that no matter the outcome of the election, half the country would still be disappointed.
He continued to say, “I think my attitude is the best way to heal the rift in the country is to try to govern the country as well as we can, create as much prosperity as we can for the American people and remind our fellow Americans that we are all fundamentally on the same team, no matter how you voted.” Vance also revealed that he had not spoken with Trump at the time but plans on watching the election results with him in Palm Beach later in the day.
