Sen. JD Vance made the rounds on major news networks on Sunday, appearing on ABC, CBS and CNN, while his Democratic counterpart, Gov. Tim Walz, was nowhere to be found.
Vance gave an extended interview with ABC News' Jonathan Karl, with their conversation airing in full on Sunday. Vance detailed plans for deportations and defended his support for family voting.
Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has attacked Vance for past comments, suggesting that parents should get extra votes when they have children.
"The Democrats are talking about giving the vote to 16-year-olds, but let's do this instead," Vance said in a speech at a private event. "Let's give votes to all children in this country, but let's give control over those votes to the parents of those children. When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power."
Vance described the comments on Sunday as a "thought experiment" and not a policy proposal.
"Do I regret saying it? I regret that the media and the Kamala Harris campaign has, frankly, distorted what I said," he said. "They turn this into a policy proposal that I never made. … I said, I want us to be more pro-family."
Vance went on to elaborate on former President Donald Trump's plans to handle illegal immigration, specifically regarding calls for mass deportations. The Ohio senator said that a second Trump administration would take a "sequential approach" to removing the nearly 20 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S.

Outstanding!
Keep him doing this, he beats the NSM at their own game!
I thought he did a great job and showed how biased those “journalists” are. Every question was hostile yet he handled them all perfectly.
From what i see so far, he's better at it than Trump. Vivek is another guy who's great at handling reporters. Trump needs to be aware of "gotcha" questions.
I disagree. Despite the left’s actions to the contrary, it should be one person, one vote.
the questions were ‘gotcha’ and Jon Karl was actually ignorant of the trans law Walz signed in 4/23 that JD referenced - denying its existence. tsk tsk
Vance needs to confront “Good Time Timmy” and expose that angry side, which I know is there! Just one well placed scratch and he’ll expose his true contempt. I know men like Timmy. It’s there!
My opinion of him has always been good.
Being strong enough to engage the “monster” has elevated him much higher!
Trump would give the Trumpisms, which everyone understands but which are easily twisted and distorted. Vance goes one on one with them and wins.
Honestly, JD is looking like the best GOP VP pick in my lifetime. The guy is brilliant and fearless
where’s weirdo?
he hammered jon karl and dana bash in one day
Now the viewers of those shows have seen a common sense, smart capable man and what that actually looks like for a VP. Smart of him to make these shows.
I want him to lay the pain to Margaret Brennan. She is beyond painful to listen to.
I bet Timmy has showered with a few students in his past. It is what democrats do.
How’d you like to see Waltzing Ma Timmy at a Kangaroo Hop with Rachel Gunn. ROTFL!
He is a good debater. Keep up the good work, JD.
