Vice President Kamala Harris and her newly tapped running mate Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota are in Eau Claire, Wisconsin today to rally voters in the Badger State.
Republican Senator JD Vance, former President Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate, is also in Eau Claire for a dueling rally. As the current vice president continues to hide from reporters, Vance stopped by Harris' plane on the tarmac to answer questions on his way in.
"I thought the reporters traveling with Kamala might be a little lonely given that she never answers questions from them, so I figured I’d come say hello and check out my new plane while I was at it," Vance posted on X.
WOW: JD Vance takes impromptu questions from reporters in front of Kamala Harris’ plane:

It's been 16 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive nominee of the Democrat Party and she still hasn't sat for a single interview with the media. #WheresKamala https://t.co/GskLe1CJEc

Walz is also refusing to answer questions.
JD VANCE CALLED IT!

Earlier in the day, Vance shot back at Walz' attacks and accused him of stolen valor.
You know what really bothers me about Tim Walz?

When the US Marine Corps asked me to go to Iraq to serve my country, I did it.
When Tim Walz was asked by his country to go to Iraq, he dropped out of the Army and allowed his unit to go without him. I think that's shameful. pic.twitter.com/Dq9xjn4R51
And Vance isn't the only one.
I served in the Minnesota National Guard with him. He literally abandoned us when we were about to be deployed to Iraq. He's a coward and should be treated as such. https://t.co/NPMfyUCjf2

I understood the full extent of my commitment to this country when I served in the Army for 26 years.

My unit was deployed to Iraq in 2003. I left without hesitation and led a battalion of 800 soldiers to carry out our mission.
But when @Tim_Walz heard his unit was mobilizing… https://t.co/wCCPyqb0Be
