Vance will speak at firefighters union convention Thursday, a day after Walz

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance will speak at the International Association of Firefighters Convention on Thursday — a day after his opponent Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is speaking — according to a source familiar. 

Ahead of the 2020 presidential election, the International Association of Fire Fighters became the first major labor group to officially endorse a candidate in the 2020 campaign, throwing its support behind Joe Biden. The union has yet to endorse a candidate this cycle.
