- Sen. JD Vance recounted being asked if he had a “secret family” during the vice presidential vetting process, which he found intrusive and bizarre, especially since his wife was present.
- Vance described the vetting process as detailed and intrusive, including questions about potential family criticisms and criminal history.
- Politicians undergoing vice presidential vetting often face extensive scrutiny to prepare for media examination, highlighting past examples like Herschel Walker and John Edwards who had hidden children.
