(31,059 posts)Ohio Senator JD Vance said President Joe Biden's prisoner swap that secured the release of several Americans held hostage in Russia, including Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan, is a "testament" to former President Donald Trump's strength.
"I think it's great news, at least what little we know," Vance, Trump's running mate in the 2024 presidential race, told CNN on Thursday. "We certainly want these Americans to come back home. It was ridiculous they were in prison, to begin with."
He continued, "But we have to ask ourselves, why are they coming home? And I think it's because bad guys all over the world recognize Donald Trump's about to be back in office, so they're cleaning house. That's a good thing, and I think it's a testament to Donald Trump's strength."
Newsweek reached out to the Trump campaign for comment via email.

(20,724 posts)Hope you find community here.
It's helpful if you include text in your post, as most people, hopefully all, won't click a link unless there is some trust, and text explaining the content, which they can read more of at the link if they choose. Youtube links with video preview visible are usually an exception.
Four paragraphs of copied text are the maximum allowed.
Cheers!
