J.D. Vance vs. Tim Waltz | Wilnesh News

Vance fired back at MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle this week for fact-checking her claim that her children “eat about 14 eggs every morning.”

Vance made the statement during a campaign event at a Pennsylvania supermarket on Sept. 21, trying to make a point about high grocery costs under the Biden-Harris administration.

A little over a week later, Ruhle calculated that with two kids eating 14 eggs a day, they would be eating 98 eggs a week, which she noted in the X post. Vance has three children, ages six, four and two.

His response to Rule was to suggest that the egg claim was just hyperbole and that MSNBC anchors took the statement too literally.

“At one point I said I was so tired I could sleep for days,” Vance wrote in Monday’s post. “Stephanie Ruhle: In fact, Vance only slept 8 hours.”

Netflix Cancellations surged in five days after co-founder and chairman Reed Hastings endorsed Harris for president in a July X post, Bloomberg reported. At the time, Hastings also announced in an interview that he had donated $7 million to a pro-Harris political action committee.

In the days following the recognition, cancellation rates in the U.S. nearly tripled, according to market research firm Antenna. July 26, four days after the endorsement, was Netflix’s worst cancellation day of the year.

Walz’s policy record in Minnesota may be something some progressives can only dream of.

Walz strengthens with three straight Democratic wins and nearly $18 billion budget surplus union protectioninvesting more than US$1 billion housing Resources, pass universal Paid family and medical leavefree school lunches for all students, walking tours corporate tax etc.

Walz’s policy achievements provided a testing ground for some of the economic platform of Harris’ campaign. But his record of generous spending and sometimes fraught relationships with businesses could also serve as lines of attack for Vance in tonight’s debate.

Walz will start the day in Harbor Springs, Miss., where he and his team have been preparing for the debate since Saturday. He will leave for New York City in the morning.

Like Harris, Walz prepared for the debate in swing states, seizing the opportunity to stay in the field for a few extra days and potentially win some goodwill with local voters.

Vance flew from Ohio to New York City Monday afternoon ahead of tonight’s debate.

While Vice President Harris has no scheduled campaign events that day, Trump has two events in Wisconsin. The former president will speak at a manufacturer in Waunakee at 2:30 p.m. ET and then at the Discovery World Science and Technology Museum in Milwaukee at 6 p.m. ET.

Vance and Walz will face off tonight in New York City, a fitting backdrop for a debate contest that is likely to focus on the economy and the high cost of living, two issues that consistently rank as top concerns among voters.

New York City is plagued by an ongoing affordability crisis.

As of 2022, the median home price in New York City is $724,000, according to the data Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The median household income that year was $72,000. As a result, nearly 70% of the population rents.

The office building market has also been affected in the wake of the pandemic, as remote work policies have hollowed out office buildings, causing some sectors in commercial real estate to collapse.

Still, as home to Wall Street and a booming tech industry, New York City’s five boroughs make up the state’s largest economy, and one of the largest in the world.

New York Times editorial board endorses Harris for president a reviewcalling her “the president’s only patriotic choice.”

“It is difficult to imagine a candidate less worthy of the presidency of the United States than Donald Trump,” the editorial board wrote, deeming the former president “morally” and “temperamentally unfit” for the role.

The article also criticized Trump’s criminal charges and older age than Harris, as well as “his fundamental lack of interest in policy and the increasingly bizarre nature of his colleagues.”

“Trump’s second term will be even more destructive and divisive than his first,” the editorial board wrote.
