A unique press tradition unfolded on Sen. JD Vance’s campaign plane today, showcasing a playful interaction between network reporters and the candidate. The reporters ingeniously rolled an orange with a question to the front of the plane where Vance was seated. Despite a slight dent in the fruit during the initial attempt, ABC skillfully bowled the orange up toward Vance’s seat, initiating a lighthearted exchange.
In a spontaneous moment, Vance responded to the orange query by revealing his favorite song: “Ten Years Gone” by Led Zeppelin. This impromptu Q&A session added a touch of whimsy to the campaign trail, offering a glimpse into the personal preferences of the senator.
This playful exchange mirrored a similar incident from the previous day, where reporters covering another candidate, Walz, posed a question on an orange as well. Walz was asked about his dream dinner guest, to which he promptly replied with Bruce Springsteen. These instances of creative engagement between the press and political figures highlight the camaraderie and informal dynamics that can emerge amidst the rigors of a campaign.
