Vance defended his speech at an anti-abortion rally after Loomer warned abortion messaging could cost Republicans the midterms.

WASHINGTON — Vice President JD Vance responded to the “elephant in the room” at the March for Life on Friday, concerns that not enough political progress is being made on the pro-life issue.
