Latest Polls and Apostrophe Waste: Election Updates

JD Vance brought up a variety of topics during his three-hour-plus conversation with Joe Rogan, which was released Thursday.

On transgender rights, Vance was strongly opposed to the idea of ​​athletes competing on teams that match their gender identity. He said he worried that his own daughter might one day be “bludgeoned to death because we allow a 6-foot man to compete with her in sports.”

Vance too suggested that parents could let their children transfer for the chance of better study prospects:

“If you’re a middle-class or upper-middle-class white parent and all you care about is whether your child goes to Harvard or Yale, then obviously that path has become a lot more difficult. for a lot of upper-middle-class kids,” Mr. Vance told Mr. Rogan. “But the only way these people can participate in the DEI bureaucracy in this country is by being transgender.”

The senator also indicated he might have a few in hand anti-vaccine tendenciesa growing trend in conservative spaces:

“The moment I really started turning red with the whole vax thing was that I was by far the sickest I had been in the last 15 years when I took the vaccine,” Vance said. “I’ve had Covid five times at this point, I’ve been in bed for two days, my heart was pounding.”

He added: “Being as sick as I’ve ever been lasted for two days, and the worst COVID experience I had was like a sinus infection. I’m not really willing to trade that.”

At one point, Vance tried to draw a connection between someone’s politics and his own testosterone level:

“Well, have you seen all these studies that actually link testosterone levels in young men to conservative politics? So maybe that’s what’s going on… Maybe that’s why the Democrats want us all to be in poor health and overweight, because that means you’re – no, it means we’re going to be more liberal, right? Apparently, if you make people less healthy, they become more politically liberal.”

Vance also joked that he wanted to hang out with him Hunter Bidensaying he would bet money that Hunter and Joe Biden both voted for Trump:

“The one thing that I think Republicans, man, have really been wrong about over the last few years is the anti-Hunter Biden stuff. I want to hang out with Hunter Biden! I mean, I might be the only Republican. That guy knows how to have a good time.
