J.D. Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, previously criticized the GOP for its stance on immigration and alienation of non-white voters in a 2012 blog post, which he had asked to be deleted in 2016. The post revealed Vance's concerns about unrealistic deportation plans and over-reliance on white voters. Vice President Kamala Harris has faced scrutiny and fact-checks for making false claims about U.S. military presence during a debate, with media outlets like ABC News and CNN calling out inaccuracies. Additionally, Harris was questioned about former President Trump and Vance spreading racist conspiracy theories about Haitian migrants in Ohio, highlighting ongoing racial tensions.
