The "Hillbilly Elegy" author snatched the GOP nomination with Donald Trump's help the first major test of the former president's endorsement power in the midterms.
"I feel bad for J.D. Vance," joked "The Daily Show" comedian.
He was "hedging his bets," said John Bachman after Trump touted candidate [Josh] Mandel instead of Vance at a political rally.
The "Hillbilly Elegy" author won a coveted Trump endorsement in his Ohio Senate race ... except Trump thinks he's named something else entirely.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The former president forgot the name of someone he endorsed for the Senate, earning a jibe from the conservative attorney.

Ohio Senate candidate claims Biden is giving drug traffickers at the border a pass so they can wipe out right-wing voters. "It does look intentional," Vance said.
The former president didn't seem too jazzed about Vance, who wasn't one of his early supporters.
The race is as much about J.D. Vance or whoever wins as it is about Donald Trump.
I go back and forth to thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon ... or that hes Americas Hitler," the GOP Senate candidate reportedly wrote.
