Sen. J.D. Vance says he won't try to speak for Donald Trump in the future after the vice presidential nominee expressed a contradicting viewpoint on a federal abortion ban.
The admission came after a moment at Tuesday's debate where the former president broke with his running mate and said they have not yet discussed a veto on banning abortion at a national level.
'I think that I've learned my lesson on speaking for the president before he and I have actually talked about an issue,' Vance said in an interview with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker on Sunday morning.
The Ohio Senator said his point last month was to reiterate that Trump has been clear he does not support the idea of a national ban – but that he also thinks the issue would never cross his desk because it wouldn't get through Congress in the first place.
Asked at the debate with Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Tuesday if he would veto a bill putting a federal ban on abortions, Trump was noncommittal.

But when the ABC debate moderator Linsey Davis pressed him on Vance's remarks just weeks earlier, the ex-president broke with his running mate
'I didn't discuss it with J.D. in all fairness,' Trump said on stage. 'J.D. – and I don't mind if he has a certain view – but I think he was speaking for me. But I really didn't.'

That doesn’t sound like tension. That sounds like honesty.
Whereas Walz and Harris are in lockstep 🔐 🚶♂️ 🚶♀️ agreement 🤝. Neo-Marxists unite!
JD and Trump are doing a fine job. Daily Mail likes to stir up trouble. Ignore them.
This is a good clip.

JD: “It’s all about JD.”
I like it, it sounds natural and comfortable.
Trump picked the wrong guy (Trump has a tendency to do that).
Vivek should be Trump’s VP and the presumptive frontrunner in 2028.
I pray God will make that happen.
J.D. Vance has been a great choice for VP. Surprised me how good.
Got a problem with no-foreign-spice-at-birth Americans?
That’s what most of us are.
Trump picked JD and Trump was speaking highly of him this week. Just cut it out. It is a good thing they act like individuals instead of programmed puppets.
This sounds about as ‘mild’ a tension there could be.
Remember what was going on between McCain and Palin, that was a pure split during that election cycle.
Translated: "Thank you sir may I have another!"
I like Vance..
“I learned my lesson.” Humility is a fine trait, J.D. and one which no Democrat has or understands.
Vance is a great orator...and a great pick.
Unlike Harris and Obama, Vivek is a natural born citizen.
Vivek is the ONLY guy on the national stage who has THE plan to move MAGA and America foreword in 2028 and beyond after Trump, to freedom and prosperity by DISMANTLING the unconstitutional portion of the feds.
So says, Princess Katelyn Caralle of the “Daily Male”.
They is partners, Eastbound and Down!

JD spoke out of turn, got called on it, says he won’t do it again… not a big deal unless it becomes a pattern
