Primanti Bros., a sandwich store based in Pittsburgh, is an icon in Pennsylvania, in all probability crucial state on this presidential election. It’s a swing state with 19 electoral votes, and as such, Primanti Bros. is a gorgeous marketing campaign cease, a spot the place candidates look to shore up their street-cred bona fides.
And but Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance screwed it up huge time.
As in an embarrassing cease at a doughnut store earlier this cycle, Vance’s workers has confirmed as soon as once more unable to carry out probably the most primary advance work. Based on the restaurant, Vance’s crew didn’t notify anybody that he—or his Secret Service brokers, or his police escort, or a bunch of his supporters—can be stopping there. Due to that, the store’s supervisor initially refused to permit Vance inside.
Awkward.
After this, Vance held slightly meet-and-greet with tens of his supporters within the car parking zone. However ultimately, as soon as the preliminary confusion was cleared up, the restaurant says that Vance was allowed inside.
Nonetheless, a 2024 Trump delegate from New Jersey referred to as the occasion “reminiscent of Jim Crow.”
Altogether, this was an simply avoidable screwup—in case your crew has competent folks in it. However with Donald Trump’s crew, every thing is chaos, anger, and confusion.
Wish to know the way avoidable all of this was? Vice President Kamala Harris made an identical however screwup-free cease not too way back.
