Sen. JD Vance made the rounds on major news networks on Sunday, appearing on ABC, CBS and CNN, while his Democratic counterpart, Gov. Tim Walz, was nowhere to be found.
Fox News Digital reports Vance gave an extended interview with ABC News' Jonathan Karl, with their conversation airing in full on Sunday. Vance detailed plans for deportations and defended his support for family voting.
Walz will be ordered to do battle with the media, but will cancel the interview the day before and then tell everyone he did it anyways. https://t.co/u27NqMfLCC

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has attacked Vance for past comments, suggesting that parents should get extra votes when they have children.
"The Democrats are talking about giving the vote to 16-year-olds, but let's do this instead," Vance said in a speech at a private event. "Let's give votes to all children in this country, but let's give control over those votes to the parents of those children. When you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power."
Vance described the comments on Sunday as a "thought experiment" and not a policy proposal.
"Do I regret saying it? I regret that the media and the Kamala Harris campaign has, frankly, distorted what I said," he said. "They turn this into a policy proposal that I never made. … I said, I want us to be more pro-family."
Vance went on to elaborate on former President Donald Trump's plans to handle illegal immigration, specifically regarding calls for mass deportations. The Ohio senator said that a second Trump administration would take a "sequential approach" to removing the nearly 20 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S.
