Donald Trump’s vice presidential selection, JD Vance, stunned reporters on Wednesday by attempting to confront Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, on the tarmac in Wisconsin, when their planes arrived at nearly the same time.

“I figured I’d come by and one just get a good look at the plane because hopefully it’s going to be my plane in a few months,” the Ohio senator told campaign reporters after approaching Air Force Two.

“I also thought you guys might get lonely because the vice president doesn’t answer questions from reporters and hasn’t for 17 days.”

Harris and Walz took pictures with Girl Scouts Troop #3307 on the tarmac shortly before Vance overshadowed their first joint Midwestern campaign stop.

Harris’s campaign attempted to mock Vance by posting a video of his plane landing at the Eau Claire airport with the TikTok-style caption, “all of a sudden, I hear this agitating, grating voice.”

“Make sure AF2 is deep cleaned because Lord only knows what @KamalaHarris and her team have done on there,” Trump-Vance campaign spokesman Steven Cheung posted on X. “The smell alone on that plane must be crazy.”

Vance also utilized the run-in with Harris to call her out for not having conducted an extended interview or full press conference since she began her campaign on July 21st, after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race. 

“I also wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why Kamala Harris refuses, why does she refuse to answer questions from the media,” Vance said. “I don’t think the vice president waved at me as she drove away.”

He said it was “insulting” to Americans that Harris has not yet agreed to take part in any interviews.

“I’d love her to just answer what she wants to do and also explain why every single position she has has changed,” Vance said.

“She pretends to be a tough on crime prosecutor and yet here she is wanting to defund the police. She’s the border czar, yet she’s opened up the American southern border.”

Vance finished by saying, “This is a person who has to answer questions from the media and it’s disgraceful that she runs for you guys, and it’s also insulting to the American people.”

Meanwhile, the vice president spoke off the record with the press for just four minutes on Tuesday afternoon and five minutes on Wednesday aboard her jet, answering multiple questions, but not allowing those answers to be reported.
