JD Vance on rival Tim Walz: Listens to ‘Hamas wing’ of Democratic Party
In his first public comments since his general election foe was set, JD Vance calls Tim Walz a choice that “highlights how radical Kamala Harris is.”
In a gaggle with reporters aboard his campaign plane upon landing in Philadelphia, Vance says Walz “is a person who listens to the Hamas wing” of the Democratic Party and “who wants to make the American people more reliant on garbage energy instead of good American energy.”
Vance is speaking to reporters in Philadelphia today ahead of campaign events across Midwestern battleground states tomorrow, in a path that somewhat mirrors Harris and Walz’s planned trajectory.
