JD Vance has tried to pivot by blaming Vice President Kamala Harris and the influx of Haitians during her vice presidency for a variety of broader social issues in Springfield.

When you have that kind of microphone in front of you, you really ought to understand at a very deep level how much your words have meaning," Harris said, blasting Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
