DALLAS, 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US Vice President JD Vance on Thursday slammed opposition Democrats as the "party of hatred" as he sought to rally support for Republicans ahead of the hotly contested midterm elections.

"The Democrats are the party of hatred. They're the party that despises America and the people who built it. They're the party that can find sympathy for the terrorists who perpetrated 9/11," Vance said in a prime-time convetion speech in Texas.
