Harris responds to GOP criticism of Walz's military service

Vice President Kamala Harris has addressed criticism from Sen. JD Vance on her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, and his military record.

Speaking with reporters in Detroit, Michigan, Harris said, "Listen, I praise anyone who has presented themselves to serve our country. And I think that we all should."

Harris’ comments come after Vance, the running mate of former President Donald Trump, accused Walz of "stolen valor," saying he lied about his military service when he never saw active combat.

The Harris-Walz campaign issued a statement Wednesday saying that "in his 24 years of service, the Governor carried, fired and trained others to use weapons of war innumerable times. Governor Walz would never insult or undermine any American's service to this country -- in fact, he thanks Senator Vance for putting his life on the line for our country. It's the American way."

VP contenders' incomes, finances examined

The major party vice presidential nominees -- Democrat Gov. Tim Walz and Republican Sen JD Vance -- sharply disagree on a range of issues, but the differences in their personal finances are just as stark.

Walz, a former teacher and member of the U.S. House of Representatives, earns about $127,000 in salary per year, retains no stock holdings and relies on a pension account as his primary asset, financial disclosures show.

Vance, a former venture capitalist, brought in roughly $221,000 in 2022 from salary and book royalties, as well as hundreds of thousands in investment income, a U.S. Senate financial disclosure showed. He also held significant wealth in brokerage accounts and dozens of business investments, according to the financial disclosure.
