Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg ― of truth-telling on Fox News fame ― is helping Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz prepare for his upcoming vice presidential debate against GOP counterpart JD Vance,

The vice presidential nominees courted chief executive officers in dueling meetings in Washington, as the two campaigns seek to win over major business leaders in an exceedingly tight race.The separate meetings on Thursday with Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz at the corporate-friendly Business Roundtable — a group representing chief executive officers from some of the largest American companies — highlighted how the campaigns of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are both seeking to bolster their economic credentials with less than 50 days before the election.

Democrat Tim Walz and Republican JD Vance will face off next month in the only scheduled U.S. vice presidential debate, a chance for each man to reinforce his running mate's message to voters just weeks before the Nov.

JD Vance said over the weekend that he “learned my lesson” on getting ahead of Donald Trump after accidentally announcing an abortion position Trump later disavowed. He might still have some work to do.

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.

The Republican vice-presidential candidate blamed Democrats for political vitriol after Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt against Donald J. Trump.
