For their part, Donald Trump and J .D. Vance can't seem to keep my name out their mouth. The tough part of course is that they don't really know what my name is, it seems. Certainly don't know how to say it, but it really doesn't matter because we're going to force them to learn how to say it with the word senator in front of it in November. But there's a reason they keep saying my name and pointing to my faith. It's because they don't want to talk about gas prices. They don't want to talk about They don't want to talk about groceries. They don't want to talk about heart. It is to see a doctor in America. They don't want to talk about clean air and clean water. They don't want to talk about any of those things. But here's the thing about it. My name and my faith are not the reason you can't afford your gas. Not the reason you can't afford your groceries. Not the reason you can't see a doctor. Chances are, if you are seeing a doctor, they may actually have my name and my faith.
