MILWAUKEE — Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is planning an aggressive travel schedule that includes campaign stops for the slate of Republicans running for Senate this year, according to GOP senators who met with him on Thursday.
Following a meeting with Vance at a Milwaukee brewhouse outside the Republican National Convention, just days after former President Donald Trump chose him as his running mate, GOP senators and candidates told the Washington Examiner he would appear on the trail in the coming days.
Vance will travel to Fort Wayne, Indiana, next week, said congressman Jim Banks. A second source confirmed the event will be a Wednesday fundraiser.
“We’re going to see a lot of J.D. Vance on the campaign trail,” said Banks, who is running for Senate in ruby-red Indiana.
“He is not just focused on getting Donald Trump back in the White House, but at the same time, we’ve got to win all these Senate races,” he added.
Vance will also be traveling to Oklahoma, according to Sens. James Lankford (R-OK) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK). Mullin said the event would be a July 26 fundraiser.
