As Sen. JD Vance prepares to face Gov. Tim Walz in next week’s vice-presidential debate, the Ohio senator is turning to Minnesota Rep. Tom Emmer to help him in debate rehearsals by playing Walz, sources familiar with the plans told ABC News.
One of the sources said Emmer was invited to stand in for Walz so that Vance could prepare to take on the governor’s folksy personality.
Vance’s debate preparations have included sessions at his Cincinnati home and online sessions with his team and with Jason Miller, a senior advisor on former President Donald Trump’s campaign, a source told ABC News.

Per NBC News:
Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., will play Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in Sen. JD Vance’s final vice presidential debate rehearsals, a source directly involved with the preparations told NBC News.
Those final sessions will cap more than a month of work to ready Vance, an Ohio Republican, for next week’s face-off with Walz in New York.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign, including key members of Vance’s team, has been honing his debate strategy for more than a month, the source said. The approach has involved in-person and virtual practice sessions over Zoom, as well as “murder boards” — a process intended to work through potentially tough questions.
Jason Miller, a senior Trump campaign adviser, and Vance’s wife, Usha, have been involved in the sessions, the source said, along with Vance’s closest political advisers. Those helping with the prep have immersed themselves in old videos of Walz’s previous debates from his past campaigns in a swing congressional district and from two runs for governor.
