Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the Republican nominee for vice president, said he will “absolutely commit” to not implementing a federal abortion ban two years after saying he’d like “abortion to be illegal nationally.”
While appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Vance vouched for former President Donald Trump, telling moderator Kristen Welker that he believes Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if he’s elected president in the fall.
“I think he would,” Vance told Welker after she pressed him about his party’s efforts to propel a bill restricting abortion access nationwide. “He said that explicitly that he would.”
