Campaign Senior Adviser jason miller and former democratic i think thats the right word for it, apluplectic. They want him to firmly denounce president ial candidate buttigieg this the next time it is brought of indiana. Up. The baseless attacks on mailin they point to the fact that Vice President mike pence was asked voting. This is just a way theyre about this and tried to put it to rest. But for a lot of people inside trying to steal will the the president s orbit, that is election. Dont pay any attention to what the president is saying not good enough.
