Contributing sentiments towards policy:
49% : Like the rest of the GOP, Vance has more recently been trying to be seen as having "softened" on abortion, claiming he supports access to mifepristone and leaving abortion laws to the states.39% : Like Trump, Vance has strong ties to some of the authors of Project 2025 -- the extremist guidebook for a second Trump term -- despite their campaign's attempts to distance themselves from it.
31% : And the lie about Springfield was not the only one Trump told during his first face off with Harris:
30% : but he's come a long way: Now, Vance is helping Trump spread the false claim that Democrats are responsible for the two recent attempted assassinations of the former president, which threat assessment experts told my colleague Mark Follman could give rise to even more political violence.
20% : After Vance helped spread the racist lie about Springfield, Trump repeated it during his first debate to the more than 67 million viewers who watched; Springfield subsequently received bomb threats and had to evacuate schools and its city hall, while the local Haitian population was left reeling and in fear.
10% : Vance used to strongly dislike Trump, having once called him "America's Hitler" and lambasted some of his supporters as racist (fact-check: true)... ...
7% : Trump, however, proved otherwise -- at his first debate against Harris, he twice refused to clarify whether he would veto a national abortion ban if Congress passed it...despite the fact that Vance previously affirmed Trump would.
