Vance says Ive learned my lesson on speaking for Trump
At last weeks debate, Trump said I dont think he was speaking for me after the Ohio senator told NBC last month that the GOP nominee would veto an abortion ban.

Sen. JD Vance, former President Donald Trumps running mate, on Sunday backed away from comments he made in August saying that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if it came to his desk.
Ive learned my lesson on speaking for the president before he and I have actually talked about an issue, Vance told NBC News Meet the Press, just days after Trump publicly said he hadnt ever discussed with Vance what hed do if an abortion ban crossed his desk as president.
I didnt discuss it with JD, in all fairness, Trump said during Tuesdays debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. And I dont mind if he has a certain view, but I don't think he was speaking for me.
At the debate, the former president went on to say that Harris would never get the chance to codify Roe v. Wade if elected because Congress can never get this approved. So it doesnt matter what she says about going to Congress. Wonderful. Lets go to Congress.

(355 posts)Follow up question to that statement should have been "You two haven't discussed your policy on abortion? Really?"
