During the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance commented on Vice President Kamala Harris's absence, suggesting a lack of unity within the Democratic Party. Vance noted that Harris was not physically present at the convention, as she made brief remarks via live video from a campaign rally in Milwaukee, symbolically accepting the party's presidential nomination.
Vance highlighted the proximity of Harris, who was 90 miles away from the convention, while former President Barack Obama delivered a significant speech. He implied that this physical distance indicated a lack of unity within the party. Harris, however, did watch parts of the speeches from Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama while en route to Chicago on Marine Two from the Wisconsin rally.
