Hillary Clinton has criticized Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance for suggesting that families could ease the financial burden of child care by tapping grandparents for more help, saying that the Ohio senator is “just not in touch with what goes on in the lives and the working careers of the vast majority of Americans.

Vance has a law degree, and he likes to present things in terms of principles and philosophies. But the fancy talk is just a way of weaponizing his feelings, which are actually the ultimate arbiter of fact vs. falsehood and right vs. wrong.

Despite his staff learning that the cat-eating story wasn’t true on the day of his first post, Vance doubled down and kept going.

A U.S. Senate panel on Thursday advanced four of President Joe Biden's judicial nominees, including one whose prior nomination to become Chicago's top federal prosecutor had been blocked by Republican vice presidential candidate Senator JD Vance in protest over former President Donald Trump's indictments.

JD Vance was reminded of reality about Haitian immigrants' legal status. The Republican replied that he simply doesn’t care and prefers to keep lying.

"I'm still recovering a little bit from the experience of trying to inhabit the mind of Mike Pence," Buttigieg recently joked.

Sen. JD Vance this week said that Haitian migrants with legal immigration status are in the country illegally, suggesting that would change if Trump wins the election. The Morning Joe panel discusses.

Tim Walz enlisted the help of Pete Buttigieg as he prepares for the vice-presidential debate on Oct. 1. The Transportation Secretary is reportedly serving as JD Vance ’s stand-in during policy sessions and mock debates on the campaign trail.

The state is getting lots of political attention. After recent visits from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, JD Vance rallied in Raleigh on Wednesday.
