J.D. Vance thinks it’s time for Republicans to have another fight over a southern border wall, this time with President Joe Biden.
If the GOP seizes full control of Congress in the midterms, the Ohio Republican said the party should use its majorities to extract border wall money from the Biden administration as a condition of funding portions of the government. Vance said that advancing border wall cash is one of his top two priorities should he defeat Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) in November, and he urged the GOP to join him in fighting for an expanded barrier between the United States and Mexico.
“Republicans, we need to have a fight over the border wall. And we need to be willing to say to Joe Biden: ‘You don’t get another dime for your priorities unless you do your job and enforce and secure the Southern border,’” Vance told supporters here in his hometown.
