JD Vance briskly marched up to Air Force 2, Kamala Harris’ plane, planning to give political reporters a show as he confronted the vice president uninvited on Wednesday.

    Presumably, he also has secret service protection, so they knew he was coming. Hilarious they decided not to just tell him she wasn’t there

      Having flown out of the airport in question, it only has one gate, it’s pretty tiny. Their planes were probably parked literally right next to each other, so it wasn’t exactly out of his way
