Opposition is always a target for political candidates, and the 2024 election was no exception. The race was initially set as Biden vs. Trump, but when Biden stepped down late in the race, it shifted to a battle between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump. Trump announced his running mate, JD Vance, before Harris revealed hers, but once she did, the mudslinging began.

In contrast, Harris’ running mate, Governor Tim Walz, took a different approach. He shared heartwarming pictures of his dog, Scout, which were so effective that Vogue named Scout “America’s Dog” and featured him on the cover of Dogue.

Not to be outdone, Vance soon released a video showing him and his dog, Atlas, boarding one of Trump’s planes. However, the video, shot on a smartphone with poor production quality, raised eyebrows. Atlas appeared uneasy, and the way Vance handled the leash made many wonder if he had any experience with dogs at all.

Soon after, an online counterattack targeted Walz. Photos circulated, showing him with two dogs both claimed to be Scout, fueling rumors that Walz was misleading the public. Especially in this tweet from Donald Trump Jr’s wife. Kimberly Guilfoyle.
