In a CNN News Central interview, Abdul El-Sayed says JD Vance is "sprinting as hard backwards as he can from this terrible disastrous war in Iran." He calls Trump and Vance "odious" in their political roles and says Vance went along with whatever Donald Trump said until Trump became "a loser at the ballot box." CNN framed the segment around the "delicious irony" of Vance having to swear El-Sayed in.

And if they're serious about doing that, let's get some stuff done. In their political roles, in the ways that they behave outside of their actual roles as president and vice president, I find them odious. They've taken us down the path. You see JD Vance now. He's sprinting as hard backwards as he can from this terrible disastrous war in Iran. I'm like, now's not the time. My guy, it would have been eight months ago, you should have spoke up. But you never will because, of course, you are a coward who has decided that whatever Donald Trump says should go until of course Donald Trump is now a loser at the ballot box and I were trying to find a different way.
