Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) doubled down on defending his wife, Usha Vance, against the white supremacist attacks she has faced since he was tapped as former President Trump's running mate last month.
"Look, my attitude to these people attacking my wife is, she's beautiful, she's smart. What kind of man marries Usha? A very smart man and a very lucky man, importantly," Vance said on ABC News's "This Week." "And my view is, look, if these guys want to attack me or attack my views, my policy views, my personality, come after me. But don't attack my wife. She's out of your league." |

| Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) dismissed Vice President Kamala Harris's recent enthusiasm boost in the polls as a "honeymoon phase."
In an interview on NewsNation's "The Hill Sunday" with Chris Stirewalt, Mullin denied that Democrats were now in the lead in the presidential race.
"Oh, absolutely not. All this is a little bit of a honeymoon phase with Harris," Mullin said. "She still hasn't taken any questions from media. She's done no interviews whatsoever, and she's hiding from her record. You have to answer those questions at some point." |

"Of course," Vance told CNN's Dana Bash, in a "State of the Union" interview.
"I want to debate Tim Walz. I think it's important, and I think that it goes to a very fundamental difference between the Trump-Vance ticket and our opposition. We believe in talking to the media. We believe in answering questions. We believe in debating," Vance said. |

| Radio host Charlamagne tha God brushed off concerns that Democrats' newfound momentum is just a "honeymoon phase" since putting Vice President Harris at the top of the ticket, while noting the party needs to do more work ahead of November.
"I think there's less apathy, but, you know, if I'm the Democrats, I'm not spiking the football yet. The job is not done. You know, you still have to bring this thing home in November," Charlamagne said in an interview on ABC News's "This Week." |

|
| Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg pushed back on Sen. JD Vance's (R-Ohio) attacks on Democrats as "anti-family," in an interview on CNN's "State of the Union."
"First of all, let's be clear, we're the ones trying to get the Child Tax Credit expanded, and JD Vance couldn't be bothered to show up in the Senate and vote for it, and Republicans have blocked that from being expanded or it would be the law of the land right now," Buttigieg said. "So if you want to talk about promoting children, promoting family, put your money where your mouth is." |
