USSC Research Associate Ava Kalinauskas was featured in an article in SBS News about what influence JD Vance and Tim Walz could bring to bear on their campaigns.
Kalinauskas said that while Donald Trump picked Vance, 40, to contrast his youth next to President Joe Biden - he may have some 'buyer's remorse' now with Vance struggling in some polls.
In Walz, Kalinauskas said Kamala Harris has chosen someone with a "conventional face" and "folksy charm" that could "appeal to rural voters."
