Vice President JD Vance<\/a> was interrupted twice during his Florida<\/a> rally speech Thursday.<\/p>\n

The first interruption came as Vance was praising Florida senator Ashley Moody when a man began shouting from the crowd.<\/p>\n

“We got a clown over here,” Vance responded, adding \u2013 without evidence \u2013 that the protester was not a Florida voter but a “Democrat plant.”<\/p>\n

“Well, we kicked him out, just like we’re going to kick out the rest of the Democrats,” he told the crowd, to cheers.<\/p>\n

Vance quickly returned to his praise of Moody, highlighting her record as Florida attorney general and her positions on immigration, law enforcement and food regulation.<\/p>\n

The second interruption came as Vance was talking up Byron Donalds, the Republican candidate for governor. After a woman shouted from the audience, Vance asked what she was saying before interpreting her remarks as support for putting “left wing bureaucrats” in control of Florida schools.<\/p>\n

He contrasted that with Donalds’ position that parents should control their children’s education. Vance then pivoted to law enforcement, praising a Florida deputy who had been wounded in the line of duty and arguing that Republicans would stand behind police.<\/p>\n

Neither interruption derailed the speech; both became openings for Vance to return to his central message: Florida’s midterm elections are a choice between Republicans aligned with President Donald Trump<\/a> and Democrats, which he painted as “crazy” and far outside the mainstream.<\/p>\n

This is breaking news<\/a>, updates to follow.<\/p>\n
