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.”
