JD Vance says the Trump campaign ‘should be focused on the policy’: Full interview
Meet the Press: Exclusive Interview with Senator JD Vance
Senator JD Vance, former running mate of President Trump and Republican senator from Ohio, joined Meet the Press for an exclusive interview. The discussion centered around several hot topics, including abortion, healthcare, and immigration.
Abortion Ban
When asked if President Trump would veto a federal abortion ban, Senator Vance clarified that the President has not discussed the issue with him. However, he emphasized that President Trump has been clear in his stance against a national abortion ban, preferring to let individual states make their own decisions on the matter. Senator Vance pointed out that such a ban would not have the support of even 10 senators, making it a hypothetical scenario.
Healthcare
The conversation turned to healthcare, with Senator Vance outlining President Trump’s plan to fix the Affordable Care Act. He emphasized the importance of deregulating the insurance market to allow individuals to choose plans that suit their needs. Senator Vance also defended President Trump’s record on healthcare, citing the protection of 20 million Americans who gained coverage under the Affordable Care Act during his administration.
Immigration
The discussion shifted to immigration, with Senator Vance addressing claims made by President Trump about migrants eating pets in Springfield, Ohio. While local authorities have disputed these claims, Senator Vance maintained that his constituents have reported similar incidents and that the media has ignored the issue. He emphasized that the real problem is KLA Harris’s open border policy, which has led to a range of social problems in Springfield.
Rumors and Controversy
The conversation turned to controversy surrounding Haitian immigrants, with Senator Vance defending his decision to repeat claims made by constituents. He condemned all acts of violence and threats of violence, but argued that the media and KLA Harris’s campaign have been unfair in their portrayal of the situation.
Laura Lomer and White Nationalism
Senator Vance addressed comments made by Laura Lomer, a supporter of President Trump who has spread conspiracy theories and expressed anti-immigrant views. While Senator Vance acknowledged that Laura Lomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign, he downplayed the significance of her comments, arguing that they are not an issue of national importance.
Personal Reaction
When asked if he and his wife were offended by Laura Lomer’s comments, Senator Vance responded that they do not get offended by every social media post. He emphasized that his focus is on KLA Harris’s policy failures and undoing her policies as Vice President.
Conclusion
The interview concluded with Senator Vance reiterating his commitment to undoing KLA Harris’s policies and focusing on the issues that matter to Americans.
