During a campaign event in Philadelphia, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris for her campaign promise to lower prices 'on day one.' Vance criticized Harris for not fulfilling this promise during her time in office, stating that she has been vice president for about 1,300 days and should have addressed these issues earlier.

Vance highlighted the current high prices on electricity, food, and gas, attributing them to the policies of Harris. He emphasized the need to unleash Pennsylvania energy workers and prioritize domestic energy production to reduce reliance on foreign sources.

Additionally, Vance criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, referring to his handling of riots in Minneapolis and questioning his military service record. He also questioned Harris's reliance on teleprompters and urged her to engage directly with the American people.

The event took place on the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, setting the stage for a contrast between the Trump-Vance campaign agenda and that of the Democratic Party.
