- Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance responded to CNN anchor Brianna Keilar's suggestion that he exaggerated his military service. Vance, a former Marine, criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz amidst growing questions regarding his military record after being selected by Vice President Harris as her running mate.
- Keilar labeled Vance as an 'imperfect messenger' due to his title of 'combat correspondent,' which did not reflect his actual role as a public affairs specialist who did not see combat. Vance countered on social media, stating it was disgraceful and emphasized that he served in a combat zone, while accusing Walz of lying about carrying a weapon in war.
- Reports indicate that Walz never served in an active war zone and was stationed in Italy with the National Guard. Critics, including a retired command sergeant major, have condemned Walz for his statements about his military service, claiming they suggest he was in actual combat.
- The Harris campaign revised Walz's biography on their website to clarify misunderstandings regarding his rank and military service. The scrutiny around Walz's military background has intensified, particularly concerning the timing of his retirement, which some interpret as an attempt to avoid deployment to Iraq.
