Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance implored a group of reporters not to call him and former President Donald Trump "weird," arguing they were "normal guys."

At an event in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Vance was asked how Republicans would stop voters from referring to them as "weird" after Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz made the meme go viral.

Donald Trump running mate Sen. J. D. Vance's attack on Gov. Tim Walz's war record was subjected to a thorough fact check on CNN — as were Walz's own claims about his service.

CNN analyst Tom Foreman Wednesday found a significant falsehood in Vance's attack on Vice President Kamala Harris' newly selected running mate and provided a notable piece of context.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) book, "The Art of Power," was released Tuesday and the California Democrat has been speaking to the press about what is in the pages, while also dropping noteworthy comments she's been hearing from Republican colleagues.

Speaking to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday, Pelosi revealed that Republicans have told her that if Democrats can simply defeat Donald Trump, they might be able to rebuild the GOP without the same far-right ideologues who control their party now.

Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance admitted he never saw combat in Iraq and defended Donald Trump's lack of military service.

After accusing Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz of "stolen valor" on Wednesday, Vance took questions from reporters in Wisconsin.

People were seen lining up for miles on Wednesday to attend a rally in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, for Democratic nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Appearing on CNN Wednesday to discuss the selection of Gov. Tim Walz as the Democratic vice presidential nominee, one of his Republican Party predecessors in Minnesota's governor's office ended the interview trying to put a positive spin on Ohio Republican Sen. J. D. Vance's bumbling entry into the race.

But before he got to that point, Tim Pawlenty laughed when CNN's John Berman mentioned Donald Trump's roll-out efforts when Vance was introduced to the nation.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) attempted Wednesday to explain former President Donald Trump's questioning of Vice President Kamala Harris' racial identity — but was hit with pushback from a journalist who wanted to know, "How can you fake your race?"

Vance faced this question during a press conference in Michigan as he made the case that Trump's much-criticized attacks on Harris' racial identity reflected broader concerns about her shifting politics.
