President Donald Trump attacked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz at a televised cabinet meeting on December 2, 2025. But in the process, he appeared to take an unexpected swipe at Vice President JD Vance.
At the cabinet meeting, Trump responded to a question about the administration’s escalating conflict with Minnesota over a recent fraud scandal involving members of the Somali-American community. With Vance seated at the table, Trump criticized Walz, but quickly veered into an awkward comparison involving the 2024 vice-presidential debate.
