My cell phone and social media has been flooded with questions. Was United States Vice President JD Vance in Atlantic County, New Jersey, today?

The answer is, YES.

Don Purdy Was There

Atlantic County Republican Chairman Don Purdy met Vice President Vance right at the foot of Air Force Two earlier today.

Purdy hinted on-air this morning “that something big was going to be happening later today … we’ll talk about it very soon… Just not right now,” said Purdy.

The highest levels of the American government asked Purdy to meet Vice President Vance upon his arrival to Atlantic City International Airport earlier today.

About this, Purdy told me:

It was such an honor for The White House to call me yesterday and ask for me to be in the Vice President’s motorcade and help with family members and staff, said Purdy.
