JD Vance urges Arizona crowd to ‘work our rear ends off’ to help Trump win

Republican VP candidate tells supporters in swing state to pull friends to polls because race could go either way

Two weeks out from election day, Republican vice-presidential candidate JD Vance told supporters at a rally in swing state Arizona that they need to pull their friends to the polls because the race could go either way.

Here's the scenario that I want you to consider, and I don't mean to give you nightmare fuel here, but I'm going to do it," Vance said to the crowd in Peoria, Arizona. We wake up on November the sixth, and Kamala Harris is barely elected president of the United States by a 700-vote margin in the state of Arizona. Think about that. And ask yourself what you can do from now until then to make sure it doesn't happen."
