As it turned out, on Wednesday, both JD Vance and Kamala Harris were arriving at the airport in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Once again, Harris needed help to buff out her crowd by having a popular musician at her event, Bon Iver.
But when Vance arrived, he skewered Harris' effort to avoid reporters but good. He walked over to where Air Force Two was and delivered a great shot.
Vance joked, "It's going to be my plane in a few months."
Then he said, "I also thought you guys may get lonely" because Kamala Harris "doesn't answer questions from reporters and hasn't in 17 days." He asked them if the Harris team had given them any explanation for her avoiding the media. He said he thought it would be good if she took questions rather than running a campaign from a basement and with a teleprompter. Then he smiled and thanked them.
His tactic worked. One reporter asked what he wanted to hear from Harris. Vance responded he wanted to hear what she wanted to do in the office and why her positions have all flip-flopped. He said she pretended to be a tough-on-crime prosecutor but then was for defunding the police and opening the border.
Vance finished by saying it was "disgraceful" how she was blowing them off, as Harris was avoiding the media with her motorcade pulling away behind Vance.
