Ohio Senator and Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance was on the same tarmac as Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin on Wednesday and felt some sympathy for the group of reporters covering the Democratic nominee. It’s been more than two weeks since President Joe Biden dropped out and passed the mantle to Harris and the vice president has yet to do a major interview.
Both Vance’s and Harris’ planes landed in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, around the same time as both candidates hit the campaign trail in the swing state. Vance took the opportunity to address the reporters waiting for Harris and called on the Democrat to answer more questions from the press.
“I figured I’d come by … hopefully it’s going to be my plane in a few months,” Vance said pointing back at Air Force Two. “I also thought you guys may get lonely because the vice president doesn’t answer questions from reporters and hasn’t for seventeen days.”
“Have they given you guys an explanation for why she won’t take questions from reporters?” he asked. “Nobody? Okay, great. Well, I hope that she’s changed her mind because it would be good for the American people, and I think it would be good for you all if she actually ran a real campaign instead of one from her basement with a teleprompter.”
Asked by one reporter what he wants to hear from Harris, Vance replied, “I’d love her to just answer what she wants to do and also explain why every single position she has has changed.”

Harris has been blasted for seemingly avoiding tough questions from the media after she locked up the Democratic nomination. The vice president and her newly tapped running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are at the beginning of a campaign tour that will take them to each of the seven battleground states, but Harris doesn’t have any long-form interviews planned as of Wednesday.
Harris and Walz appeared together for the first time as presidential and vice presidential nominees in Philadelphia for a rally on Tuesday night, hours after Harris picked Walz as her running mate. During the rally, Harris said Walz’s resume next to Vance’s is “like a matchup between the Varsity team and the JV squad.”

She should not be allowed to use AF2 for campaign events.
Well, she is right about Varsity vs JV! Her only problem is Walz is on the JV squad! If the MSM would ask some serious questions about her and Biden’s record, instead of lobbing her inconsequential questions, this race would be a walk off for Trump. But the media is trying to create a new darling and that just isn’t going to work for serious minded Americans.
My question is why is Harris and her recently picked running mate using Air Force 2 for transportation purposes to campaign none of the others candidates have use of tax payers funds for transportation and her running for president is not official Vice president duties I don’t like the idea of my tax money funding her run for president she should be paying for her own transportation to campaign not the American people I want my tax money back that she is wasting by stealing from the taxpayers to avoid paying for their own expenses
Vance was bad ass! The pic of cameltoes and tampon Tim and not speaking to the press was a pussy act..but tampon Tim waved the horned devil sign.wtf is wrong with this leftover garbage can people?!!
The people in Philadelphia are so brainwashed by Democrats, it turns your stomach. How about asking her specifically what she intends to do for our country since she has done nothing but hurt American Citizens in the long run. She did nothing as VP and is not held for accountability for all the crimes she went along with. You people that back her are in for the destruction of our country. She is not a respected person. I do not care what her color is, she is too dumb to run our country. Just look around you and think.
