‘Stop whining’: Vance dismisses Republican criticism of Ramaswamy ad - POLITICO
“I have to admit that I’m a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining more about that advertisement than they are about what the congressional Democrats and other Democrats want to do to the United States of America,” Vance said at a press conference ahead of a campaign event with Ramaswamy and Ohio Sen. John Husted…

JD Vance falsely blames Biden policy for high gas prices. Iran war is mainly to blame. – PolitiFact
Market forces and global events like pandemics and wars tend to influence refinery production more than presidential policy, and the most obvious cause of today’s high gasoline prices is the Iran war, which was launched by President Donald Trump.
California, not the U.S., has lost 20% of its oil refining capacity; the nation’s refining capacity has been largely stable.
Climate change and energy policies introduced by former President Joe Biden could play a long-term role in nudging refinery operators to cut back or shut down facilities, experts say…

Vance, Rogers keep up attacks on El-Sayed during Michigan rally
For El-Sayed, however, Vance, Rogers, and others went a step further and tried to connect him specifically to terrorist groups. Rogers continued a line of attacks from a debate last week.
El-Sayed, a Michigan-born and raised son of Egyptian immigrants, has called the claims unserious and ridiculous. While speaking at a campaign rally in Marquette Thursday night, El-Sayed responded to Vance’s insults.
“When you’ve got a name like mine you see the best of us, and too often sometimes you see the worst of us. And there are always a few very loud people who are small and want to make us small like them,” El-Sayed said…

Weekly Roundup: They Want to Rule, Not Govern: Live-Streamed Executions, “Enemy Combatants,” and the Midterm Panic (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)
They want to rule, not govern.
This week on the Weekly Roundup, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down Trump’s “bomb LA” comments, the “enemy combatant” rhetoric aimed at Somalis in Minnesota, Hegseth’s plan to live-stream a firing squad execution, and Tucker Carlson and Curtis Yarvin’s Hitler comments. Then they close with some reasons for hope: Ossoff in the Georgia debate and a Satanic invocation in Ottumwa, Iowa.
With the midterms less than a month away, Brad and Dan argue the GOP is ramping up fear-mongering, race-baiting, and empty promises because it has little else left to offer.

Young men who carried Trump to victory are mad. Vance is trying to win them back. - POLITICO
Convincing this cohort won’t be easy, and even administration allies are skeptical Vance can stanch the bleeding. They fear that young men may be a lost cause in 2026 — their anger with the Iran war a proxy for overall frustrations that the country has long focused too much on foreign policy and not enough on improving their lives at home…

As Trump voters sour, Vance is changing his tune - POLITICO
Vance on the stump often concedes that many Trump voters are frustrated by the pace of progress and admits that sometimes he is, too. It is followed by a call for patience, a plea for one more chance and a warning that Democrats would be far worse.
His tone is noticeably different from President Donald Trump, who regularly touts the country as “the hottest” anywhere in the world, gives himself an A+ “on everything” and says he has had the most successful two years of any president…

Vance’s red-state swing hits Florida as polls tighten in Sunshine State - POLITICO
Democrats have overperformed in recent special elections in Florida and made gains with independent and even Republican voters. Florida is facing many of the same political headwinds as the rest of the U.S., including inflation and ongoing frustrations with gas prices due to the war in Iran — as well as backlash over mass deportations from members of its large immigrant population.
Vance, who is one of the White House’s top midterm surrogates and has embarked on a red-state swing, pressed the base assembled at an aircraft hangar and events venue to turn out in November to “send a message to the far-left radicals.” He accused Democrats of wanting to make Florida “less free, less safe and more poor.” …
