During a campaign event in Valdosta, Georgia, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Vance mocked Walz's late speech start time at the Democratic National Convention, which began at 11:22 p.m. ET, suggesting that most viewers in Georgia were already asleep by then.
Vance criticized Harris for her record on key issues, particularly on cost-of-living and national security. He claimed that Walz was unable to highlight Harris' accomplishments due to her alleged role in worsening Americans' lives over the past few years.
Vance accused Harris of promising improvements once in power, despite having been in a position of authority for three and a half years and allegedly making things worse. He questioned the effectiveness of Harris' policies and her ability to bring positive change to the country.
Earlier in the Democratic National Convention, organizers faced delays on the first night but adjusted the program start time on subsequent nights to address the issue.
