Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance criticized the mainstream media for portraying Kamala Harris as the 'second coming of Abraham Lincoln' during a rally in Pennsylvania. Vance expressed his disbelief in the media's portrayal of Harris, citing their previous support for President Biden despite his age. Vance has been vocal about his distrust of mainstream news since being chosen as a running mate by former President Donald Trump.

During an interview, Vance emphasized his desire for multiple debates with his opponent, Tim Walz, but insisted on distinguishing between 'real' and 'fake' debates. He refused to participate in what he referred to as 'fake news media garbage debates' and called for genuine exchanges of ideas.
