Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance revealed that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reached out to him by leaving a voicemail on Tuesday evening, although the two have yet to engage in a direct conversation. Vance shared with reporters that Walz's voicemail expressed gratitude for the call and anticipation for their upcoming debate.

When questioned about the strategic decision to hold campaign events in the same locations as Vice President Kamala Harris, Vance defended the approach by emphasizing its effectiveness. He pointed out that focusing on key states crucial to the election outcome was a priority, hence the decision to engage with voters directly in those areas.

Highlighting the importance of engaging with local media, Vance's team strategically planned events to coincide with Harris' visits to ensure coverage and provide a contrasting perspective. This tactic aimed to present a diverse range of viewpoints to the public and offer a counter-narrative to the narratives being presented by the opposition.
