Milwaukee, WI – On the first day of the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump announced that his pick for the Vice Presidential candidate is JD Vance, current Senator of Ohio.

JL Andrepont of 350 Action responded:

“We are facing a dire need to ward off further climate catastrophe and injustice, so let’s be clear: JD Vance is another climate-denying authoritarian who poses massive danger to this country. He has praised the horrific Project 2025 plan and said there are ‘good ideas in there.’ He says he would be totally fine with a federal ban on abortion. And as the effects of climate change accelerate at an alarming pace right in front of our eyes, Vance is a strong supporter of the oil and gas industry who claims that climate change is not a threat. We must reject him and all climate deniers at the polls.”
