READING, PA — Sen. JD Vance knows he’s gotten ahead of Donald Trump on a number of issues. During an exclusive interview with NOTUS on Saturday, he acknowledged that he has to do a better job of not speaking for the former president.
“Certainly one thing that I’m going to try to do is, like — and I’m 99% successful — is not speak for him on an issue where we haven’t actually talked about it,” Vance said on his plane, following a town hall in Reading, Pennsylvania. “I think that, you know, he very clearly has made clear he doesn’t support a national abortion ban. And, you know, I just got to be a little bit more precise in how I describe that next time.”
Vance said in late August that Trump would veto a national abortion ban. But when the topic came up during the only debate between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump said he actually “didn’t discuss it with JD.”
