Vice President JD Vance faced tough questions from voters about the Trump administration's policies on data centers, high costs, immigration and his own rhetoric in a town hall on CBS News that aired Saturday night.
The string of sharp questions, some from voters who said they had supported him and President Donald Trump, previewed the rocky path he may face if he runs for president in 2028 and has to answer for the administration's record.
Vance, who said during the town hall there's "of course" a chance he doesn't run for president, faced an especially pointed question about "a failure of leadership" posted by the widow of one of six U.S. soldiers killed by an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait, which occurred the day after Trump started the war with Iran.
"This literally is the first time I've heard of this," Vance said in response.
As he went on, he said, "This job is an amazing honor, but you live in a bit of a bubble and sometimes information doesn't filter up."
