White House Press Pool Reports @WHPressPool - 🛬 VP Travel Pool Report #2 - landed and Scrum quotes
Air Force Two landed at Tyler Pounds Regional Airport at 11:59 AM CT time. Pool was ushered to vans and did not see the vice president depart the plane.
The rally is here at a hanger a short distance from where the plane is parked motorcade will travel about 100 yards. The stage is decorated in red, white and blue.
Vance is expected to speak at 11:30 AM local time.
More from the scrum before we boarded AF2.
On Vance’s past Talarico comments
“He’s just a guy who shows a weird focus on transgender kids and drag queens, and you know I think he he said something to the effect of an 11-year-old in drag was a great side or a very beautiful thing. It just he says a lot of weird stuff, and I think typically people who say stuff like that tend to have some pretty unusual search histories. Maybe he doesn't.”
On Ilhan Omar’s home being raided
“Look, I did not have advance notice that her home was being raided….We try to run our Department of Justice in a fair and honest way. We try to let the law follow the facts rather than creating facts just to prosecute people we don't like. And because of that, I think the president and I largely try to stay out of Department of Justice investigations and other prosecutions.
“Now, I do know that there are some serious allegations against Ilhan Omar. We're going to look into those. And again, if there's a real case there, we're going to follow the facts. If there's not a real case there, then we won't.”
On Paxton and campaigning in red states
Ken is obviously in a tight, a tight race. He's a a new senator, a guy or a new candidate for Senate, a guy where the far left has spent well over $100 million trying to destroy him, and so we're trying to to build him back up a little bit. But I think Ken's a great job, a great guy. He's doing a great job. I think he's ultimately going to win. But you know, I know from from personal history, when a lot of money comes against you, that can have an effect even in the red state.
On Republicans pulling money from Republican-held districts
“I think the nature of a midterm election is sometimes these races have more of an individual rather than a national character. I feel good about where we are. We know that we're swimming upstream.”
