Donald Trump's running-mate JD Vance landed at an airport in Wisconsin while campaigning today, and guess who else was there: Kamala Harris.
Vance went over to get a closer look:
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — JD Vance deplanes on the same tarmac as AF2 as Harris/Walz campaign in town at the same time. Vance, instead of getting in his motorcade, has walked across the tarmac toward the VP’s plane but we are held at a distance pic.twitter.com/BAOiaD0PNR

Vance said there were a couple of reasons he went over toward Air Force Two, and to say hi to Harris wasn't one of them:
“I just wanted to check out my future plane,” Vance tells us.

He didn’t speak to Harris, but added that he “wanted to go say hello to the vice president and ask her why does she refuse to answer questions.” https://t.co/g8ZoqYRt9i
Also in a show of empathy, Vance talked to reporters covering Harris, concerned they might get a little lonely since the Dem nominee doesn't take any questions:

Vance comes over to cameras covering AF2 arrival...
"... hopefully it's going to be my plane in a few months. I also thought you guys may get lonely, bc the VP doesn't answer q's from reporters..."

Now that's funny -- and very accurate.
Really brilliant move to walk over to the VPs press gaggle and remind them she doesn’t let them ask her questions… https://t.co/ISoXmCeJkH

Trump and Vance need to never stop reminding as many people as possible that the Harris campaign is trying as hard as they can to keep her from doing any serious interviews or press conferences.
