Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz joined in on the JD Vance couch memes that have taken the internet by storm during his rally appearance Tuesday.
The newly announced Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate joined Kamala Harris at their first joint rally, where Walz said he "can't wait" to debate his Republican challenger.
"I can't wait to debate JD Vance. That is, if he's willing to get off the couch and show up," Walz said, referencing the meme.

The debunked rumor, which spread virally after Vance was picked as former President Donald Trump's running mate, claimed the "Hillbilly Elegy" author enjoyed having sex with couches. Google searches for "JD Vance, couch" skyrocketed and numerous memes and photos of couches and Vance circulated on social.
Walz acknowledgement of the meme on Tuesday immediately sparked social media attention and praise from supporters.
