Mixed reaction to OKC private luncheon held for candidate J.D. Vance

OKLAHOMA CITY ( KFOR ) — It was a mixed reaction from many who lived in the neighborhoods surrounding Gaillardia during Republican Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance’s Friday visit.

“Trump, Vance 2024!” One neighbor shouted. “I’m not voting for him, get out,” said another.

The visit was all a part of a private luncheon hosted at the home of Quail Creek Bank owner, Mark Davenport, in the Northwest Oklahoma City neighborhood.

The Vice Presidential candidate flew in around noon on Friday and landed in a Trump/Vance airplane at Will Rogers Airport.

At the airport was Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt who was captured shaking hands with the candidate outside of his plane.

A motorcade with a mix of Oklahoma City police officers, and what looked to be Secret Service, made its way north.

The area had to be blocked off as the group entered through the west entrance.

On the flyer that’s been passed around online, the luncheon allowed for a person to buy a ticket to private event, for $5,000. The flyer also said that someone who wanted a photo with Vance and a ticket would have been $15,000.
