Obama takes subtle swipe at Vance while praising Walz as 'ideal' Harris running mate
Fox News
Former President Barack Obama appeared to take a subtle jab at Sen. JD Vance of Ohio in his Tuesday statement celebrating Gov. Tim Walz as the running mate for Kamala Harris.
"When a presidential candidate chooses a running mate, it says a lot about who they are and what kind of president they'll be. Do they pick someone inexperienced and polarizing who will deepen our divisions?" Obama asked. "Or do they pick someone with the judgment to make tough decisions, and the character to believe that every voice counts and everyone deserves an equal chance?"

The former president seemed to frame his statement in line with fellow Democrats' accusations that Vance is "weird" and out of touch with U.S. voters.
