EXCERPT:
JOHNSON: “Tim Scott’s endorsement doesn’t mean anything. It’s about as valuable as when he rolled out his girlfriend at the last minute before he dropped out of the race. Nobody cares what Tim Scott thinks. He’s not going to be a vice presidential pick. He was never a particularly viable candidate. This is the performance stuff that people are telling Trump to do because it sounds like it’s really news. But I got to tell you, this is a key thing that’s both dangerous to Donald Trump and dangerous to Joe Biden. Nobody is particularly excited about this race. We understand that democracy is at stake. We understand that Trump is an absolute danger to this country. We understand that Joe Biden is more competent. But the idea that Trump is going to create excitement by saying, hey, I might have Elise Stefanik, nobody outside the Republican ecosphere cares about Elise Stefanik.”
