What are his stances on the issues?
Abortion: Vance describes himself on his campaign website as "100% pro-life" and has argued against rape and incest exceptions for abortion laws. He has specified that he does think there should be exceptions if the mother's life is in danger. He praised the U.S. Supreme Court for overturning Roe v. Wade and agreed with Trump that there shouldn't be a national abortion ban but that it should be left up to the states.
Climate change: Vance does not believe the climate crisis exists and has called electric vehicle production a “scam.” He is a strong supporter of the oil and gas industry and opposes wind and solar energy sources.
2020 election results: Vance has asserted that he believes Trump won the 2020 presidential election. He told ABC News in February that if he were vice president at the time instead of Mike Pence, he would not have certified the election results.
January 6: Vance has dismissed the idea that Trump was responsible for instigating the Capitol building attack.
Immigration: Similar to Trump, Vance wants to finish building a border wall and has said he opposes "every attempt to grant amnesty" to immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally.
LGBTQ rights: Vance opposed a bill protecting gay and interracial marriage rights. He describes gender-affirming care for minors as “gruesome, irreversible operations.”
Military aid: Vance has openly been critical of the U.S. sending military aid to Ukraine. In an interview with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon, Vance said, "I’ve got to be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other.” Vance has supported sending more funding to Israel amid the Israel-Hamas war.
