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. ItÆs 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 VanceÆs and HarrisÆ 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.

ôI figured IÆd come by à hopefully itÆs going to be my plane in a few
months,ö Vance said pointing back at Air Force Two. ôI also thought you guys may get lonely because the vice president doesnÆt answer questions from reporters and hasnÆt for seventeen days.ö

ôHave they given you guys an explanation for why she wonÆt take questions
from reporters?ö he asked. ôNobody? Okay, great. Well, I hope that sheÆs 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.ö

Asked by one reporter what he wants to hear from Harris, Vance replied, ôIÆd love her to just answer what she wants to do and also explain why every
single position she has has changed.ö

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 doesnÆt 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 WalzÆs resume next to VanceÆs is ôlike a matchup between the Varsity team and the JV squad.ö

VP: Tim Walz will be ready on day one. When you compare his resume
to TrumpÆs running mateà some might say itÆs like a matchup between
