<p>Republicans need to &#8220;run up the score&#8221; in a trio of states where Senate races for seats held by Democrats are taking place along with an expected rematch between former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> and President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> in this year&#8217;s election, Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jd-vance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">J.D. Vance</a> (R-OH) said on Sunday.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kellyanne-conway-offers-insight-into-trump-veepstakes-suggests-person-of-color" target="_blank" rel="noopener">veepstakes</a> contender told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo the national party should lean into the &#8220;industrial Midwest&#8221; states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — states where Biden narrowly prevailed over Trump in the 2020 election — so that the GOP can win back not just the White House but also wrest control the upper chamber of Congress from the Democrats.</p>
<p>&#8220;We really have to run up the score with a lot of voters who recognize that they have been left behind by the economic policies of Joe Biden,&#8221; Vance said on &#8220;Sunday Morning Futures.&#8221; He added, &#8220;If you want to make things in the United States of America, the most important thing, Maria, is low-cost energy and yet Joe Biden&#8217;s energy policies have been at war with workers in these states.&#8221;</p>

<p>Democrats have just <a href="https://www.senate.gov/history/partydiv.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">47 seats in the Senate</a>, which is fewer than the 49 seats held by Republicans, but they maintain the majority thanks to the support of independents who caucus with them. A number of races this year could tilt the balance of power in the GOP&#8217;s favor.</p>
<p>Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Bob Casey (D-PA) are running for re-election while the Michigan Senate contest is open as Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) is not seeking another term. David McCormick won the GOP primary in Pennsylvania. The GOP primaries in Wisconsin and Michigan are set to happen next month. All three contests are <a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/senate-race-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rated &#8220;Lean D&#8221;</a> by The Cook Political Report, but Vance remains bullish.</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a real opportunity for us to run up the score here to win those important electoral votes&#8221; in the White House race and to &#8220;elect a few really good guys to the United States Senate,&#8221; Vance argued on Sunday. He also said, &#8220;And I think that is the most important part of our country.&#8221;</p>
<p>Vance is one of the Republicans that Trump is considering as a running mate as he runs for a second term in the White House. Trump&#8217;s campaign has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-campaign-requests-documents-from-some-vp-contenders-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly sent</a> vetting materials to Vance, as well as to North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), House Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and former Cabinet member Ben Carson.</p>
<p>During his appearance on Fox News, Vance said he has not spoken about the &#8220;vice presidential thing&#8221; with Trump &#8220;directly,&#8221; but he did <a href="https://x.com/MAGAIncWarRoom/status/1799809612574511375" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expound on</a> campaigning with Trump on the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the excitement he witnessed. He said there are &#8220;a couple of very basic issues driving the election&#8221; that include border security, stopping cartels from trafficking fentanyl, and restoring a more affordable economy for Americans.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are just some basic things where if you compare the success of the Trump administration to the failure of the Biden administration — you know, sometimes this stuff is hard, Maria, but actually have seen it,&#8221; Vance added. &#8220;We saw four years of Trump, we saw four years of Biden, and I think a lot of Americans are saying take me back to peace and prosperity, which is what Donald Trump delivered.&#8221;</p>
