he made in August saying that Trump would veto a federal ********* ban if it came to his desk.

“I’ve 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 hadn’t ever discussed with Vance what he’d do if an ********* ban crossed his desk as president.

during Tuesday’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. “And I don’t 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 doesn’t matter what she says about going to Congress. Wonderful. Let’s go to Congress.”

“She can’t get the vote. She won’t even come close to it,” Trump added.

His assessment of Harris’ chances of passing a law to restore the federal protections for ********* that existed before the Supreme Court struck them down in 2022 also applies to Republicans’ hopes of passing any kind of ********* ban.

Any such legislation would be tough to pass through the Senate without a *********** supermajority, except if a future Senate *********** majority were to majorly change Senate rules and eliminate the filibuster.

On Sunday, Vance echoed Trump’s remarks, telling moderator Kristen Welker that he and Trump “still haven’t discussed it, by the way, because it’s not realistic.”

The Ohio senator called any questions about a federal ********* ban “kind of a ridiculous hypothetical,” adding that “if a national ********* ban was brought before the ******* States Senate right now, it would get at best 10 senators out of 100.”

Vance also said that Trump has “been incredibly clear that he doesn’t support a national ********* ban. He wants ********* policy to be made by the states.”
