Just three weeks after Kamala Harris and Donald J. Trump engaged in a fiery and often hostile presidential debate, their running mates, Tim Walz and JD Vance, met for their own face-off — and struck a very different chord.

Trump lost jobs and gave tax cuts. It’s what happened. Hakes.
Lol The desperation from you folks is becoming very evident. Be afraid liberals, America will be turning red one way or another very soon.
I’m starting to believe the rumor that JD Vance is a vampire.
Unpopular opinion on a NYT podcast comment section but I warmed upto Vance. He did remind me of Obama. Josh Shapiro would have eaten him up though
wheres the mention of the fact checking lie?
