Washington, Oct 28, (V7N) — Senator JD Vance, R-Ohio, faced pointed questions over former President Donald Trump's recent remarks branding critics as "enemies from within." Vance dismissed allegations of fascism from ex-Trump officials like John Kelly and Mark Milley, characterizing them as disgruntled and eager for military engagements abroad. He highlighted Trump's view that domestic threats, particularly from the left, pose a greater risk than foreign adversaries.

Recent polling reveals Vice President Kamala Harris gaining traction among women voters, while Trump maintains a lead among men, showcasing a significant gender gap as the 2024 election approaches. Vance minimized the GOP's perceived issues with female voters, asserting that Republican policies benefit all Americans.

On foreign policy, Vance opted not to label Russian President Vladimir Putin an enemy, referring to him instead as an adversary. He criticized existing sanctions against Russia as ineffective and urged vigilance against misinformation, particularly given ongoing Russian interference in the upcoming election.
