He claimed many successes in this current Trump administration, somehow, but he also asked voters for "another chance." Not sounding very confident, Mr. VP. Also, the Jasmine Crockett/Chris Brown story has blown up, with the singer calling out Rep. Venton Jones for appearing on this show to apologize for joining Crockett on stage.
