Look, being a campaign manager isn’t easy. You’ve got to manage budgets, review media markets, plan campaign stops, place TV ads, the list goes on and on. But JD Vance is running without a doubt the worst campaign I’ve ever seen, folks.

He’s saddled with debt and beholden to an out-of-state billionaire named Peter Thiel—so in the spirit of healthy competition, I’ve got a little advice for him. But first, can you pitch in a quick $25 to flip Ohio blue?

My first piece of advice? Pay your staff what you owe them, when you owe them. Sounds pretty obvious, but after taking a look at JD’s financials, it looks like someone missed the memo—he owes his campaign manager $20k.

Second, one billionaire donor won’t cut it. Instead of building up grassroots support, JD has hitched his wagon to one out-of-state, power-hungry Silicon Valley billionaire. As a result, we outraised him 9 to 1 last quarter.

Bottom line: JD is a terrible candidate backed by terrible people, so it’s no wonder he’s running a terrible campaign—despite that, this race is neck-and-neck. So can you chip in $25 to Tim Ryan to show JD what a real campaign looks like?

I’d tell JD not to worry about paying for the advice, but from the looks of his campaign, it’s unlikely he’d pay up anyway.

LFG!
