Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) said Wednesday that hopefully Vice President Kamala Harris Air Force Two will be his soon.

Vance, Donald Trump s vice presidential running mate, landed at Wisconsins Chippewa Valley Regional Airport around the same time as Harris, prompting him to walk over to the area near her plane. He told reporters that his intent was to speak to the Democratic presidential nominee, but that he did not see her as her motorcade was departing.

I figured Id come by and, one, just get a good look at the plane because hopefully its going to be my plane in a few months, but I also thought you guys might get lonely because the vice president doesnt answer questions from reporters and hasnt for 17 days, Vance told the press near Harris aircraft.

Have they given you guys an explanation for why she wont take questions from reporters?

Harris has answered few questions from the press since President Joe Biden stepped down from the 2024 White House race in July.

Id love her to just answer what she wants to do and also explain why every single position she has has changed, Vance said. She pretends to be a tough-on-crime prosecutor, and yet here she is wanting to defund the police. Shes the border czar, yet shes opened up the American southern border.

This is a person who has to answer questions from the media and its disgraceful that she runs from you guys. Its also insulting to the American people.

Harris, a former prosecutor and attorney general of California, has previously said that she supported reimagining how much money went to police departments compared with education, housing and health care.

Defund the police, the issue behind it is that we need to reimagine how we are creating safety, Harris said in a 2020 interview amid the Black Lives Matter movement. And when you have many cities that have one-third of their entire city budget focused on policing, we know that is not the smart way and the best way or the right way to achieve safety.

Biden announced in 2021 that Harris would take a leading role on immigration, and that same year she told migrants in Guatemala, Do not come.

Though Vance criticized Harris for flip-flopping on issues, he himself has changed his political views. Vance was once a critic of Trump, even saying that he might be Americas Hitler.
