Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance made controversial comments during an appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, suggesting that Democrats want Americans to be in poor health and overweight in order to make them more liberal.

Vance referenced studies linking testosterone levels in young men with conservative politics, insinuating that Democrats may be pushing for poor health and obesity to promote liberal ideologies. However, the campaign did not provide specific details about the studies Vance mentioned.

During the podcast, Vance stated, 'If you make people less healthy, they apparently become more politically liberal,' further fueling the discussion on the potential correlation between health and political beliefs.
