PHILADELPHIA — Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) took his first shot at Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) on Tuesday, calling Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate a “double down choice for bad leadership.”

Vance did not address Walz during a stump speech held in South Philadelphia, instead bringing to the microphone families hurt by what he described as Harris’s failed border policies. He tied those policies to crime and a nationwide spike in drug deaths.
