Elise Stefanik, the Republican congresswoman for New York, spoke to reporters in the spin room ahead of the vice-presidential debate.
JD Vance will have the chance to speak directly to voters without the media picking and choosing what to focus on during tonight’s debate, Stefanik said, AP reported. She told reporters:
I think it’s an opportunity to speak directly to the American people.
In response to questions on the Ohio senator’s past comments about “childless cat ladies” and similar remarks, Stefanik said Vance has often talked about the important role of women in his life, including his grandmother and his highly accomplished wife.
