Senator JD Vance, running for vice president with Donald Trump, faced multiple public engagements and controversies recently. His visit to a Georgia doughnut shop turned awkward when employees showed little interest in his campaign. Meanwhile, a prankster at the Democratic National Convention spread a debunked rumor about Vance, which went unnoticed by MSNBC hosts. Vance has also made comments that inadvertently criticize Trump, causing backlash on social media. Additionally, he has been actively campaigning on law-and-order themes, particularly focusing on crime and immigration issues during a visit to Kenosha, Wisconsin. Trump has distanced himself from the conservative policy blueprint Project 2025, despite efforts by Democratic VP nominee Tim Walz to tie him to it.
