Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance recently found himself in the spotlight after deflecting questions about the scandal surrounding North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson. Vance attempted to shift the focus to Vice President Kamala Harris, blaming her for contributing to higher grocery prices in America.

Vance's response came after Kamala Harris reposted a video where Vance declined to comment on Robinson. In his attempt to redirect attention, Vance pointed out that Harris had cast the deciding vote on the Inflation Explosion Act, which he claimed was causing financial strain for many Americans who can no longer afford groceries.
