According to The Epoch Times, Vice President JD Vance campaigned in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Oct. 21 for gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and Sen. Jon Husted. Fox News reports that Vance toured the Cincinnati Bengals locker room and watched part of practice, and that he left with a football, though it is unclear whether it was a request for an autograph or a gift. Fox News also reports that Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says the two never talked. The Daily Beast reports that Vance made a surprise visit to the team’s practice after speaking at a rally in Sharonville, and that a video posted by NBC 5 Cincinnati’s sports director shows players streaming past him with little fanfare.
