JD Vance takes shot at Harris as he jokes that drinking led to her 'word salads'
Vice President JD Vance took a shot at former Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting her alcohol habits were responsible for her "word salads."
Vance's remarks came as he described the difference between how he and Harris have handled the role as vice president, and he speculated about the relationship dynamic between Harris and former President Joe Biden.
"Well, I don't have four shots of vodka before every meeting," Vance said in an interview with radio host and Daily Caller editor Vince Coglianese in an interview that aired Thursday. "That's one way I think that Kamala really tried to bring herself into the role, is these word salads. I think I would need the help of a lot of alcohol to answer a question the way that Kamala Harris answered questions."
Vance then shared his suspicions that Harris and Biden didn't have the same level of trust he and President Donald Trump share, noting his opinion was based on "guesswork" since he doesn't speak to either Biden or Harris frequently.

"My sense is that there wasn't a level of trust between Biden and Harris," Vance said. "She was just less empowered to do her job. Luckily, I'm in a situation where the president trusts me, where if he asks me to do something, he believes it's going to happen. … I feel empowered in a way that I think a lot of vice presidents haven't been, but that's all in the service of accomplishing the president's vision."

Harris routinely faced scrutiny for comments in which she jumbled words, including when she said, "I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community" in September 2024.

Harris, who previously served as a senator from California, is now a speaker with CAA Speakers, which represents high-profile celebrities. CAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
A spokesperson for Vance confirmed the vice president made the remarks on the podcast but did not provide additional comment to Fox News Digital. Coglianese did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
Meanwhile, Vance also poked fun at himself in the interview Thursday.
Vance, who has become the source of thousands of memes circulating the internet after the heated Oval Office meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, said he finds the memes entertaining.
In particular, he said he enjoys one based off Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the television from the 2019 film "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," and another swapping his face with members of the band Van Halen.

"I'm a personal fan of Vance Halen, but that's because I really like the band Van Halen," Vance said. "So that's just my personal preferences. I don't know how it happened or where it came from, but it's been very, very funny to watch your own face become this meme. It's made the job a lot more fun, so I encourage people to keep doing it."

Ukraine's General Staff confirms strike on Russian facility producing special receivers for Shahed drones
Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, together with other components of the defence forces, have hit the Russian JSC VNDIR-Progres on the night of 8-9 June. This plant manufactures parts for Shahed drones and is located over 1,000 kilometres from the Ukrainian border. Source: General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook Quote: "A defence industry facility, where receivers for Shahed drones were produced, has been hit. The target was struck by at least two UAVs, followed by a large-scale fire. The consequences of the strike are being confirmed." Details: The attack was conducted as part of "reducing the enemy's capability to manufacture aerial attack assets". The General Staff reported that JSC VNDIR-Progres is a Russian defence industry facility that manufactures navigation equipment. In particular, this facility supports the production of adaptive Kometa signal receivers, which are used in Shahed attack UAVs, and unified planning and correction modules for guided aerial bombs and other high-precision weaponry. "Strikes on facilities that support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation will continue until it is fully stopped against Ukraine," the General Staff emphasised. Background: Russian authorities imposed temporary restrictions at four Russian airports on the night of 8-9 June and explosions rocked the city of Cheboksary in the Chuvash Republic. Later, it was reported that a drone attack had caused a fire at the VNDIR-Progres plant, which manufactures Kometa receivers for the Russians that protect Russian drones from Ukrainian electronic warfare systems, in the city of Cheboksary in the Chuvash Republic of the Russian Federation. The plant suspended operations. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Polish and allied planes briefly scramble amid Russian targeting of Ukraine, Poland says
LONDON -- Polish and allied planes briefly scrambled early on Monday in Polish airspace, as Russia targeted nearby Ukraine with aerial strikes, the Polish armed forces said. The Ukrainian air force issued a series of alerts early on Monday, saying Russian drones were targeting areas throughout much of Ukraine. The operation commander of the armed forces in Poland "launched all available forces and resources at his disposal, the on-duty fighter pairs were scrambled, and the ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems reached the highest state of readiness," the military said in a statement in Polish translated by ABC News. The launches were "preventative in nature," the military said. About three hours after that initial message, at about 7 a.m. local time, the military said the threat of Russian strikes had been reduced, so the Polish and allied warplanes had been returned to their usual activity. "We inform you that no violation of the airspace of the Republic of Poland has been observed," the military said.
