That’s just a list of a few people’s opinions? I still don’t see anything backing your claim that he’s unpopular. I can get a few people to write an article on how much they hate pretty much any politician in the world. Doesn’t mean they are unpopular
How do you know if he’s hated? There’s not usually opinion polling on senators.
A “normal” campaign would canvas and poll in such a case before a selection is made. Happens all the time.
There’s plenty of articles out there on people in Ohio hating him. This is pretty recent and sums up a fair amount: https://www.dispatch.com/story/opinion/2024/07/15/ohio-critical-vance-trump-vice-president/74366261007/
