JD Vance was everywhere on Sunday, doing three separate interviews with CNN, NBC News, and CBS News. Facing adversarial questions and interviewers determined to protect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, Vance dominated with precision.
He was prepared for every question and skillfully batted down various attacks while turning each topic in his favor. In one especially satisfying moment, Dana Bash tried to obscure reporting from her own network to cover for Walz lying about his service. Vance was ready for it.

The two videos embedded in the linked article are worth the watch if you want to get an idea of how Vance will deal with the media.
While Harris and Walz hide from doing any interviewers or any unscripted events, Vance went into the lion's den and did a masterful job. He pushed back on Dana Bash so hard, she changed the subject.
Boom
JD Vance
@JDVance
I enjoyed sitting down with three of the major networks today to answer the tough questions any leader should answer. Kamala Harris has done as many tough interviews as Tim Walz has battlefield deployments.
I hope he’s their front man. Let Trump work the engine room the first 100 days. Pedal to the metal.
LMAO.
Direct links to X.

Her own network had Walz’s superior officer on two days ago to debunk the claim that he didn’t know about the deployment before deciding to retire.
Dana Bash tries to pretend that didn’t happen, still pushing the lie. Vance calls her on it.
Beautiful.

Senator @JDVance DESTROYS Jon Karl as he tries to claim Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar🔥
“We have to start with the fact that we have a wide open southern border because our Border Czar set a lot of open border policies...She assumed the title. She had control over a lot of our border policies at the time they were suspending deportations, they stopped Donald Trump’s Remain-in-Mexico, and the reinstituted catch-and-release. They basically threw open the gates of our country and now we have a ton of fentanyl and a ton of people suffering.”

The propaganda media will probably stop interviewing Vance
🔥 EN FUEGO! 🔥
OMG, that’s GREAT!
GO JD!
While I admire his courage and articulative skills, I have to question his (or Trump’s) willingness to appear on these programs, knowing full well the interviewers are nothing but Democrat hacks hell-bent on taking him down.
Bash bashed!
Wow - I’d like to see JD at the top of the ticket - he takes no crap

Will savor later.
He did ABC too.
By going on these shows, the lies of the left, and the policies of Trump have a chance of being heard by people who consume only the propaganda media. Rallies are only heard by people who already are going to vote for the candidate.
I agree. He doesn't let these interviewers interrupt him, deflect his answers into a different direction, or talk over him. He makes it clear to them that he's not going to play those games with them.
“...the interviewers are nothing but Democrat hacks ...”
They will tell us about his sky high negatives and her gigantic nationwide lead.
Trump is better when it comes to doing the rallies. He should let JD handle the Liberal Media until the Election Day.
What is it you think the words "Fight! Fight! Fight!" mean?
This is what I would ask them: why should we believe anything you say since you covered up Biden’s inability to function as President?
The media are devious but not smart! Vance is far smarter than anyone in the media and has nothing to hide.
Ergo, no “gotcha” issues!
So, why not take advantage of the opportunity to get the MAGA-message-out at media expense.
I think Vance complements Trump nicely.
