Despite digressions involving cats and a hiccup on abortion policy, Donald Trump has grown close to JD Vance, talking with him almost every day and cheering on his frequent TV appearances.

Ohio U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance’s staff was told by Springfield officials that a racially charged rumor Vance had been amplifying was false, the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday. Despite a wave of death and bomb threats directed at the community,

Even though J.D. Vance hasn't always been on the same page as Donald Trump when he talks about policy plans, the campaign is happy to let him loose.
