J.D. Vance Trolls Kamala Harris on Wisconsin Tarmac

Trump's Running Mate Interacts with Reporters Covering Harris' Arrival

During a campaign stop in Wisconsin on Wednesday, J.D. Vance, the running mate of Trump, humorously trolled Kamala Harris. His plane landed on the same tarmac as the presumptive Democrat nominee, and he took the opportunity to approach the reporters covering her arrival.

Vance's Arrival in Eau Claire

Vance's plane touched down in Eau Claire shortly after Harris arrived in Air Force Two. He was spotted walking towards her plane to engage with a group of reporters who were covering the vice president's visit.

Vance Addresses Reporters

With Kamala nowhere to be seen and standing in front of Air Force Two, Vance addressed the reporters, suggesting they looked "lonely" due to Harris's lack of interaction. He pointed out that Harris hasn't answered their questions since she was declared the Democrat presidential nominee 17 days ago. "Hopefully it's going to be my plane in a few months. I also thought you guys may get lonely, because the VP doesn't answer questions from reporters, and hasn't in 17 days," Vance said.

Vance's Interaction with Reporters Continues

Vance continued to engage with the reporters, even asking, "Have they given you guys an explanation for why she won't take questions from reporters?" He expressed hope that Harris would change her approach, stating it would be beneficial for both the American people and the reporters if she ran a genuine campaign rather than one from a basement with a teleprompter.

Vance Congratulates Walz

In his interaction with the reporters, Vance also mentioned that he had reached out to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to congratulate him on receiving the Democrat VP nomination.

Harris and Walz's Rally in Eau Claire

Harris and her new running mate, Walz, are holding a rally in Eau Claire as part of their tour through key battleground states. Vance is also scheduled to deliver remarks in the same city later in the day.

Watch the Campaign Events

Both Vance's campaign event and the Harris-Walz campaign event are available to watch.

Bottom Line

This incident highlights the contrasting approaches of the two vice-presidential candidates when it comes to interacting with the press. While Vance took the opportunity to engage directly with reporters, Harris has been criticized for her apparent reluctance to answer their questions.
