Tim Walz said he believes his rival for vice president, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, wants to solve the nation’s immigration crisis, but he questioned whether former President Donald Trump really does. Vance acknowledged that Walz wants to solve the problem, too, but he questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris really does. Vance said he and Walz “probably agree that we need to do better” on addressing gun violence. “I think Tim Walz agreed with JD Vance significantly more times in this debate. “Look, I’ve known Tim Walz 16 years, and that’s who he is,” Colorado Gov.

Tim Walz said he believes his rival for vice president, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, wants to solve the nation’s immigration crisis, but he questioned if former President Donald Trump really does. Vance acknowledged that Walz wants to solve the problem, too, but he questioned if Vice President Kamala Harris really does. Walz agreed with “a lot of what Sen. Vance said” about Americans not trusting Republicans on abortion. Vance replied, “Who has been the vice president for the last three and a half years? “Kamala Harris’ Day One was Donald Trump’s failure on Covid that led to the collapse of our economy.

Clips of the exchange and other debate moments impressed Trump, sources told CNN, and played a role in Vance securing a race-defining endorsement from the former president. Vance, now the Republican nominee for vice president, will join his Democratic counterpart, Minnesota Gov. Vance, at just 40 years old and two years into his political career, is still a largely unproven commodity. It’s a skill that matters deeply to Trump, one Vance first picked up in the Marines when he was assigned to the public affairs office. While Harris and Walz have approached the press with extreme caution, Vance has made it a point to appear accessible.

☆ New apparent Trump assassination bid is another dark moment with unpredictable political consequences
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-16 | by ( Stephen Collinson | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

CNN —There’s no political playbook for how to deal with another apparent assassination attempt against a major-party presidential candidate within weeks of an election. The second apparent assassination attempt comes against the backdrop of a turbulent campaign that has defied convention and predictions. Another apparent attempt on his life is likely to have some level of personal impact on the former president. In normal circumstances, an apparent assassination attempt against a presidential candidate might be expected to unleash a surge of sympathy that could translate into a political boost. But it’s too early to say whether the second apparent assassination attempt will have greater political impact than the first.

☆ JD Vance is sticking with Tucker Carlson after he interviewed a Holocaust revisionist. It's not the first time.

Read previewSen. JD Vance, former President Donald Trump's running mate, is in the midst of yet another controversy: his association with Tucker Carlson. Advertisement"Senator Vance doesn't believe in guilt-by-association cancel culture but he obviously does not share the views of the guest interviewed by Tucker Carlson," Vance spokesperson William Martin said in a statement. AdvertisementHe went on to posit that British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was the "chief villain of the Second World War" and was responsible for escalating the conflict. Alex Floyd, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee, criticized Vance in a statement for declining to denounce Carlson. "If you appear with Tucker Carlson, if you do an interview with him as JD Vance apparently has, you're endorsing him," Cheney said.

☆ Opinion | JD Vance’s ‘Cat Ladies’ Riff Has Serious ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Vibes

You may have heard about JD Vance’s “childless cat ladies” riff. It’s a statement, as my colleague Jessica Grose writes, that shows the desperation of Republicans who are still “clinging to the tag line that the G.O.P. It’s the kind of comment that makes you wonder if Vance thinks that he has been nominated by the Republican Party to serve as the vice president of the Republic of Gilead. Sorry — yes — Vance knows that our nation is still called the United States of America. But there’s a real “Handmaid’s Tale” vibe to a lot of what we’re hearing from the right.

☆ I reread JD Vance's 'Hillbilly Elegy.' He hasn't transformed as much as you think.
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-18 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +11 min

To reread "Hillbilly Elegy" now, as I did this week, is to feel a sense of disorientation. JD Vance the author sounds a lot different than JD Vance the politician. Personally, I first read "Hillbilly Elegy" in college, in an earnest if somewhat contrived attempt to better understand communities unlike mine. On stage, he recounted a story that also appears in "Hillbilly Elegy," where Mamaw bluntly threatens violence against one of Vance's friends. There are hints of this in "Hillbilly Elegy" as well: He served as a public affairs Marine, where he was trained in the art of media relations, including "how stay on message."

☆ Republicans could be overlooking a potentially devastating problem with JD Vance

But the race between Vance and Ryan remained extremely competitive until the end, even as other statewide Republicans had easy victories that year. While Vance won the race that November, the extent of his struggles was on full display on election night. AdvertisementRyan was undoubtedly a strong candidate, but Vance's underperformance relative to other Ohio Republicans was quite stark. But in urban and suburban communities across Ohio, Vance was swamped by Ryan in the Senate race. In the Cincinnati area, where Vance lives, Ryan won populous Hamilton County by nearly 16 points.

☆ Ted Cruz accused JD Vance of empowering 'the radical Green Movement' by aligning with Democrats on a bill to prevent rail disasters like the East Palestine crash
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-11 | by ( Ethan Dodd | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

JD Vance, a Republican senator from Ohio, proposed the Rail Safety Act in March. "All of us were moved by the testimony of the witnesses" from East Palestine, Cruz said. "We cannot undo the psychological, economic, and physical toll of the derailment in East Palestine," Vance noted, but "there will be another East Palestine in this country if we do not pass the Railway Safety Act." "I earnestly hoped that we would reach a bipartisan consensus," Cruz said, but "this bill is overly and needlessly prescriptive." Nonetheless, Cruz doubted the bill would pass the Senate with 60 votes, let alone the House.

“Tim Ryan is running the best Senate race in the country and having to do it all by his lonesome,” said Irene Lin, an Ohio-based Democratic strategist who managed Tom Nelson’s Senate primary campaign in Wisconsin this year. After losing two presidential campaigns and a race for governor in the state since 2016, national Democrats are wary about spending in Ohio, once a quintessential battleground. The barrage includes a spot attacking Ryan, who has portrayed himself as a moderate, as a party-line voter beholden to Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. Other national Democrats have tipped their hat to Ryan, noting how his moderate message has put the seat within striking distance, if not higher on the party’s list of priorities. “The national Democrats have walked away from Ohio prematurely,” Griffin said.
