Dozens of former classmates of Senator JD Vance of Ohio spent Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate donating money to a fund for Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, raising more than $10,000.
In interviews, some donors characterized the contributions as an effort to repair part of the damage the Trump-Vance campaign — and Mr. Vance himself — caused by spreading bogus rumors that migrants were stealing and eating pets. Haitians living in Springfield and the broader community have faced an array of threats over the debunked claims.
Peter Chen, a member of the Yale Law Class of 2013 along with Mr. Vance and his wife, Usha Vance, organized the campaign in a class discussion group on Tuesday.
Mr. Chen, who grew up near Chicago and is the son of immigrants, said in an interview that he was gratified to see that more than 50 classmates, or about one-quarter of the class, had donated, posting notes of solidarity with Springfield’s Haitian community.
