Google Trends data revealed that during the last week of July, people Googling 'JD Vance couch' blew past queries for 'Trump shooting'.
Tim Walz, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, took a sharp jab at his Republican rival JD Vance over a widely circulated but unfounded claim about Vance's memoir. At a rally in Philadelphia alongside Kamala Harris, Walz quipped, "I can't wait to debate the guy... that is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up." The remark elicited laughter from the enthusiastic crowd.
What’s the Couch Joke?
Walz’s comment alluded to a viral social media story that began circulating on July 15, shared on X by @rickrudescalves and later deleted. The story claimed Vance admitted in a bestselling memoir to a bizarre sexual encounter with a latex glove and couch cushions.
The Associated Press quickly debunked the claim in a fact-check titled "No, JD Vance did not have sex with a couch," though it was later retracted. This fueled a surge of memes and kept the topic trending.
Google Trends showed a spike in searches for "JD Vance couch" during the last week of July, surpassing searches for "Trump shooting," and interest remains high.
Tim Walz’s Critique
While Walz addressed his own policy positions on climate change and gun control, he did not miss the opportunity to criticize Trump and Vance.
