In the "Republicans Pounce" department, we have headlines about Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz trying to score points against opponent J.D. Vance by claiming that he and his wife have children thanks to in vitro fertilization (IVF).
"JD Vance accused Tim Walz of lying about his IVF experience," reads the headline at NBC News .
