Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is trying to keep the heat on his Democratic counterpart, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), by claiming he chose to run for Congress rather than go to war.

Walz has faced accusations of abandoning his National Guard unit since being named the Democratic vice presidential candidate on Aug. 6. If the Trump-Vance campaign has its way, that story will stay in the headlines a while longer.
