Vance roasts Walz over video game gaffe, needling former coach on football IQ

Media figures and Democrats warned women will face dire consequences if former President Trump is re-elected. Ohio senator and Republican candidate for vice president JD Vance took aim at Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's football IQ after the Democratic vice presidential nominee posted a confusing tweet during a livestream of himself playing Madden. "They parade Tim Walz around as some kind of football genius as a former football coach, and maybe I know more about football than Gov. Tim Walz does," Vance said during a rally in Saginaw, Michigan on Tuesday. The comments come after Walz teamed up with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., to livestream a session of the two playing the Madden NFL video game against each other, an event that was reportedly an effort by the campaign to widen its appeal among young male voters.
