JD Vance is taking on an increasingly prominent role for the Trump campaign: attack dog. The Republican vice presidential candidate made three Sunday show appearances, attacking Vice President Kamala Harris as a \u201cchameleon,\u201d and trying to flip the script on Gov. Tim Walz\u2019s characterization of him as \u201cweird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TV swing \u2014 two shows short of the \u201cfull Ginsburg,\u201d a term for a politician appearing on all five major Sunday shows \u2014 was Vance\u2019s chance to slow Harris-Walz momentum and to address criticism he\u2019s faced for his bumpy rollout, including his past comments about the former president, abortion stance, and \u201cchildless cat ladies\u201d dig.<\/p>\n<p>The media blitz comes as the Trump-Vance campaign has struggled to find its footing in the week after Harris announced Walz as her running mate \u2014 and after a week where former President Donald Trump did not stop in a battleground state. The Democratic ticket has hauled in millions, attracted large, enthusiastic crowds at rallies, and begun to turn the race\u2019s poll numbers around: Harris now leads Trump in 538\u2019s national polling average and is ahead in the critical blue wall states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, according to a new New York Times\/Siena College poll.<\/p>\n<p>Vance was interviewed by anchors at ABC News\u2019 \u201cThis Week,\u201d CBS News\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation,\u201d and CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union\u201d in Cincinnati and was asked about being on the ticket with Trump, their policy vision for the country, and his recent attack lines against Harris and Walz. Vance said calling him and Trump weird was \u201cfundamentally schoolyard bully stuff\u201d and \u201cprojection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can accuse me of whatever they want to accuse me of,\u201d Vance told Dana Bash on CNN\u2019s \u201cState of the Union.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m doing this because I think that me being vice president will help improve people\u2019s lives, so I accept their attacks, but I think that it is a little bit of projection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vance said he was eager to get out and \u201chelp define\u201d the opposition. \u201cI think that unfortunately, Kamala Harris has run a campaign where every time she\u2019s in front of voters, a teleprompter is in between. She doesn\u2019t really talk to the media, like at all. She hasn\u2019t answered, I think, a single tough question from a reporter. So yeah, one of my jobs is to get out there,\u201d Vance said on CBS Face the Nation.<\/p>\n<p>Vance has emerged as an aggressive attack dog for the Trump campaign and has kept a busy schedule that has taken him from a hometown rally in Middletown, Ohio, after his selection to stops across battleground states where, for the past week, he shadowed the Harris-Walz campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Trump meanwhile has had less of a presence on the campaign trail. He was absent from the key battlegrounds last week and held just one rally in Bozeman, Montana \u2014 where he was there to seek revenge on Sen. Jon Tester, one of the most endangered Senate Democrats in a state Trump will handily carry in November. He also attended fundraisers in Wyoming and Colorado, and held an impromptu press conference with reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he lashed out over crowd sizes and attacked Harris\u2019 intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Vance was asked about the former president\u2019s attacks on Harris\u2019 racial identity. During an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists, Trump said Harris, whose parents are Jamaican American and Indian American, \u201chappened to turn Black\u201d in recent years and has repeated his false claims about Harris downplaying her racial identity.<\/p>\n<p>Vance said Trump was trying to point out that Harris is &#8216;a chameleon\u00b4. \u201cShe pretends to be one thing in front of one audience and she pretends to be something different in front of another audience,\u201d Vance told CNN. Vance accused Harris of flip-flopping on issues ranging from fracking to the border and said Trump was trying to paint Harris in his attacks as \u201ca fundamentally fake person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/08\/11\/jd-vance-harris-interview-campaign-00173531\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/08\/11\/jd-vance-harris-interview-campaign-00173531\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/vance-makes-his-sunday-show-sweep-as-trumps-attack-dog\/\">Vance makes his Sunday show sweep as Trump\u2019s attack dog<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15662,15301,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-132991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-trumps-attack-dog","tag-vance","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132991\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
