Summary
Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance faced significant embarrassment during a campaign stop at Primanti Bros., a well-known sandwich shop in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His team failed to notify the restaurant of his visit, resulting in the manager initially refusing him entry, which led to an awkward outdoor meet-and-greet with supporters.
This incident highlights ongoing issues within Vance’s campaign team regarding basic logistical planning. Similar to a previous mishap at a doughnut shop, the lack of advance notice created confusion and frustration. Eventually, Vance was allowed inside the restaurant, but not before a 2024 Trump delegate criticized the situation as reminiscent of Jim Crow. The Primanti Bros. management later clarified that the confusion was unintentional and that they welcomed all patrons, including Vance and his supporters, after the initial misunderstanding was resolved. This blunder contrasts sharply with the more organized campaign stops made by other candidates, such as Vice President Kamala Harris, indicating a need for improved operational efficiency within Vance’s campaign team.
