JD Vance, the Ohio Republican running mate to former President Donald Trump, has defended his record despite a rocky rollout of the campaign.
In an interview with CNN, Vance said he "has not disappointed" Trump.
Vance has faced criticism for his past comments on race, immigration, and gender. In a 2016 interview, he said that "black people are inherently violent." He has also called for a ban on Muslim immigration and said that women should not be allowed to serve in the military.
Vance has since apologized for some of his past comments, but he has also defended some of his views. In an interview with ABC News, he said that he believes that "black people are more likely to commit crimes than white people" and that "women are less capable than men in certain areas."
Vance's comments have been condemned by many Democrats and Republicans. Some Republicans have even called for him to be removed from the ticket.
Despite the criticism, Trump has stood by Vance. In a statement, Trump said that Vance is "a strong and loyal supporter" and that he is "proud to have him on the team."
It remains to be seen whether Vance's past comments will hurt the Trump campaign. A recent poll found that 58% of voters have an unfavorable view of Vance.
