‘JP, right?’ Donald Trump forgets name of candidate he endorsed

Description

Speaking at a rally two days ahead of voting in a heated Republican Senate primary in Ohio, Donald Trump forgot the name of JD Vance, the candidate he has endorsed. Senate candidate JD Vance greets former President Donald Trump at a rally at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, 23 April 2022. “You know,” the former president told a crowd in Greenwood, Nebraska, on Sunday, “we’ve endorsed Dr Oz.” So he has, in Pennsylvania. Of Ohio, Trump said: “We’ve endorsed – JP, right? JD Mandel, and he’s doing great. They’re all doing good. They’re all doing good. And let’s see what happens.”” Trump confused JD Vance, a former US marine, author of the bestseller Hillbilly Elegy and venture capitalist, with Josh Mandel, a rival who courted Trump for the endorsement.
