The Harris campaign has launched an ad highlighting a moment during the vice-presidential debate where JD Vance refused to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, calling it a “damning non-answer.” This ad comes on the heels of the debate where Vance’s performance was praised for being more polished than his opponent, Tim Walz. The ad features Vance’s refusal overlaid with images of the Capitol riot, signaling a choice between democracy and loyalty to Trump.
Following the debate, Tim Walz and JD Vance are set to return to the campaign trail, with Walz beginning a bus tour in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state. Additionally, Joe Biden has approved a major disaster declaration for Virginia in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, providing federal aid to affected areas.
In other news, a new analysis estimates that Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation campaign could cost the federal government up to $88 billion per year. The analysis raises questions about the feasibility and economic impact of such an operation. The United Nations Security Council has called an emergency meeting to address the escalating conflict in the Middle East, following Iran’s missile attack on Israel.
In the aftermath of the vice-presidential debate, voters were split on who performed better, with a Politico poll showing a 50-50 split between Walz and Vance. This polarization reflects the hyper-partisan political landscape as the election nears. The White House has called Iran’s missile attack a “significant escalation,” prompting discussions about an appropriate response.
