Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance says that the process to become Donald Trump's running mate was extremely "intrusive."

Statements about ‘childless cat ladies’ by Trump’s running mate could alienate other groups and turn out unmarried women for Democrats.

"What a stupid question this is!" Donald Trump recently raged at a journalist during a lengthy public meltdown that was billed as a "press conference." The reporter had correctly noted, "You have not had a public campaign event for nearly a week now." This factual observation set Trump off on a diatribe full of lies. "I’m leading by a lot," he insisted. "I am campaigning a lot," he pushed back. In reality, Vice President Kamala Harris is up two points over the former president in national polling. And while she's been hitting the road, even holding multiple rallies in a day, Trump has mostly been hiding out at Mar-a-Lago, only doing one campaign event in the last week in the MAGA-safe space of Montana. As Philip Bump at the Washington Post showed in a recent analysis, "Trump is holding far fewer rallies" and public appearances than he did in both 2016 and 2020.

Republicans can't replace their old man nominee, so they're pretending JD Vance is the GOP candidate
