同一周，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯和她新的竞选搭档，明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·沃尔兹五天后，副总统候选人参议员JD Vance将开始巡回演出，在战场州展开竞选活动。
万斯还将在几个关键州展开他自己的闪电战，密切配合哈里斯本周的竞选日程。
万斯、哈里斯和瓦尔兹将于周二访问宾夕法尼亚州，就在哈里斯宣布竞选伙伴的几个小时后。
三人组将于周三访问密歇根州和威斯康星州，然后于周四前往北卡罗来纳州。
自从被宣布为前总统唐纳德·特朗普三周前的竞选搭档万斯已经立即投入竞选，并且已经在大多数关键州做了竞选宣传。
但是万斯没有举行传统的竞选活动，他将利用本周的活动向媒体发表讲话，预计他将利用这段时间在几个政策方面攻击哈里斯，包括移民和经济。
万斯很可能也会攻击沃尔兹——这位俄亥俄州参议员声称哈里斯选择沃尔兹凸显了副总统是多么“激进”。
“很明显，今天的大新闻是蒂姆·沃尔兹已经被提名为卡玛拉·哈里斯的副总统候选人，或者说，现在是推定候选人。我的观点是，这只是凸显了卡玛拉·哈里斯有多么激进，”万斯周二在宾夕法尼亚州的集会前说。
当ABC新闻问及他是否与Walz有过联系时，Vance说他给Walz打了电话，但州长没有接，所以他留了语音邮件。
“我没有得到他，但我只是说，‘看，祝贺你。万斯说，“期待一次热烈的交谈，享受旅程，也许他会给我回电话，也许不会。”。
在哈里斯宣布后的一封特朗普竞选筹款电子邮件中，万斯写道:“我对蒂姆·沃尔兹有三个词:带来。它。上。”这封邮件的主题是“我要和蒂姆·沃尔兹一起擦地板。”
自从被宣布为特朗普的竞选伙伴以来，万斯已经明确表示，无论民主党的副总统候选人是谁，他都愿意参加辩论。
“我真的不在乎是谁，”万斯在选择沃尔兹之前谈到哈里斯的竞选伙伴时说。“当然，我认为我们应该辩论。我想进行一场激烈的辩论。我希望我们会的。”
民主党人已经在反击万斯即将对一些战场州的访问，攻击他和特朗普。
威斯康星州民主党协调竞选快速反应主任克里斯蒂·约翰斯顿周一在一份声明中说:“JD Vance对我们州的访问只会提醒唐纳德·特朗普长期以来的失败和失信记录。”
Vance's battleground state blitz mirrors plans of Harris, Walz
The same week Vice President Kamala Harris and hernewly minted running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walzare set to go on tour, hitting the battleground states in five days, vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance will be on their tail.
Vance will also conduct his own blitz in several of the battleground states, closely mirroring Harris' campaign schedule for this week.
Vance, Harris and Walz will visit Pennsylvania on Tuesday -- hours after Harris' big running mate announcement.
The trio will visit Michigan and Wisconsin on Wednesday before that all head to North Carolina on Thursday.
Since being announced asformer President Donanld Trump's running mate three weeks ago, Vance has hit the ground running and has already made campaign stops in most of the battleground states.
But instead of holding traditional campaign events, Vance will use his events this week to speak to the media and is expected to use his time to attack Harris on several policy fronts, including immigration and the economy.
It's likely Vance will also attack Walz -- after the Ohio senator claimed Harris' choice of Walz highlights how "radical" the vice president is.
"Obviously, the big news of the day is that Tim Walz has been nominated as the VP or is now the presumptive nominee, I should say, for Kamala Harris. My view on it is it just highlights how radical Kamala Harris is," Vance said on Tuesday ahead of his rally in Pennsylvania.
Asked by ABC News if he had been in contact with Walz, Vance said he called Walz but the governor didn't answer, so he left a voicemail.
"I didn't get him, but I just said, 'Look, congratulations. Look forward to a robust conversation and enjoy the ride,' And maybe he'll call me back, maybe he won't," Vance said.
In a Trump campaign fundraising email following Harris' announcement, Vance wrote, "I HAVE THREE WORDS FOR TIM WALZ: Bring. It. On." The email's subject is "I will wipe the floor with Tim Walz."
Vance has made it clear since being announced as Trump's running mate that he would like to debate whoever the Democrats' vice-presidential nominee is.
"I really don't care who it is," Vance said of Harris' running mate before the selection of Walz. "Certainly, I think we should debate. I'd love to have a robust debate. I expect that we will."
Democrats are already pushing back against Vance's upcoming visit to some of the battleground states, attacking him and Trump.
"JD Vance's visit to our state will only serve as a reminder of Donald Trump's long record of failures and broken promises," Wisconsin Democratic Coordinated Campaign Rapid Response Director Kristi Johnston said in a statement on Monday.
