Vance struggled to defend the Trump administration’s decisions when journalists asked him basic questions during a round of TV appearances, with one host getting so frustrated with Vance’s word salad, he cut the interview short in the middle of one of the vice president’s sentences.
Vance could not give a straight answer to questions about:

➡️ Trump's accusations that J.B. Pritzker is a criminal
➡️ Layoffs at the CDC
