During a recent campaign event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Vice Presidential candidate JD Vane received a question from a reporter on whether he supports a national abortion ban. The left has constantly tried to attack the Trump-Vance campaign by cornering them with questions about such a ban, as the topic of abortion is contentious and divisive among voters.
As the reporter asked the question, she was immediately drowned out by the crowd booing her for bringing up the topic. However, Vance was applauded for his professionalism and confidence in addressing the controversial question. “Senator Vance, what’s your message to Pennsylvania voters on abortion? Has your opinion changed? Do you think there should be a national ban, or should it be left up to the states?” the senator was asked.
As the crowd loudly booed the question, Vance calmed them down, stating, “It’s okay. It’s all right.” He proceeded to outline his stance, stating, “Look, first of all … first of all, I think it’s important to be honest about what Donald Trump, and I are focused on here,” he continued, before outlining the primary mission of the Trump-Vance campaign in the state.
Vance suggested that what he and former President Donald Trump are interested in is improving the economy for Pennsylvanians. “And what Donald Trump and I are focused on is making the American dream, affordable again for Pennsylvania families, that is what we’re focused on,” he said, emphasizing the economic concerns that many Americans face.
Users on social media praised Vance over how he handled the question. Conservative commentator Paul A. Syzpula, who shared the footage of the incident, wrote, “Reporter gets booed as she asks JD Vance about abortion, Vance handles the situation like the confident pro that he is.” Another person said, “I like Vance more and more.”
The American Tribune also reported on how Vance handled a question from a reporter about his previous comment about “childess cat ladies” which has sent the left into an uproar in recent months. Vance turned the question around to more pressing issues that Americans are faced with under the Biden-Harris administration, such as the economy and rampant illegal immigration.
“What I said is very simple: I think American families are good and government policy should be more pro-family. If the media wants to get offended about a sarcastic remark I made before I even ran for the Senate, then the media is entitled to get offended. You know what I’m offended by? That normal Americans can’t afford groceries, that Kamala Harris opened up the American southern border, and I’m offended that she wants to be the people’s president but cannot answer tough questions,” Vance said.
Trump’s running mate further noted, “That’s what I’m offended by, and I think that’s what most Americans are offended by, too. And I guess on that note, I should say thank you all for having me,” before he emphasized that the Trump-Vance campaign has “an incredible amount of momentum,” going into November.
