In a series of Sunday news show appearances, JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential nominee, took the opportunity to denounce the Democratic ticket and promote Donald Trump's record and future plans for a second term. Vance also defended himself against criticism over past remarks that have become a campaign issue.

During the taped interviews, Vance expressed agreement with Trump's suggestion that presidents should have more control over U.S. monetary policy. While Trump did not offer specific proposals, Vance endorsed the general idea, stating that the political leadership of the country should have a say in this critical aspect. However, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan questioned the wisdom of such a major change, highlighting the success of central banks that operate independently.

Vance also criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democrats' vice presidential candidate, for exaggerating his military record. Walz, who served 24 years in the Army National Guard and was deployed to Europe but never to an active war zone, referred to carrying weapons "in war" in a 2018 video. The Harris campaign clarified that Walz misspoke. Vance, a military veteran himself, deemed Walz's statements as "scandalous behavior." When pressed about Trump's Vietnam draft deferment, Vance acknowledged that people have various reasons for not serving but criticized embellishing military records.

On the issue of abortion, Vance avoided taking a clear stance on an upcoming Florida referendum that seeks to repeal Republican-passed abortion restrictions. He indicated that Trump believes the decision should be made on a state-by-state basis. Vance struggled to clarify Trump's position on federal limits for the medical abortion drug mifepristone, suggesting that Trump may have had difficulty hearing and understanding a reporter's question.

In his previous Senate campaign, Vance made controversial remarks about the Democratic party, describing its members as "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives." He extended this criticism to Vice President Kamala Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, although Harris has two adult children and Buttigieg is a married father of twins. Vance clarified that his remarks were sarcastic and intended to initiate a serious debate about "pro-family" policies, focusing on his belief in supporting those who prioritize having children.

Overall, Vance utilized his Sunday news show appearances to criticize the Democratic ticket, support Trump's plans for a second term, defend his previous remarks, and provide his perspective on various issues such as monetary policy, military records, and reproductive rights.
