Despite digressions involving cats and a hiccup on abortion policy, Donald Trump has grown close to JD Vance, talking with him almost every day and cheering on his frequent TV appearances.

The Republican has said his constituents are eating cats and dogs, but the sources of the complaints have backtracked.
