Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota and Republican Senator JD Vance of Ohio have deep Midwestern roots.

Both camps have tapped running mates from the nation’s middle, banking on their ability to appeal to voters in key battlegrounds.

The battle over who most authentically represents the heartland isn’t just about regional dialects, clothing, and cuisines.

It speaks to a broader competition over what qualifies as “real” America .

JD Vance has an opportunity to reach those voters by leaning on his story and his experience as a father to young children.

The two are also on course to clash directly at the customary vice presidential debate, though a formal date has not been set.

Both candidates have already taken their dueling messages straight to the battleground states.
