Story summary

Vice President JD Vance addressed public concerns during a CBS News town hall in Flat Rock, Michigan, on October 17, 2026, just weeks before the midterms. Voters questioned Vance about the Trump administration's policies, including high gas prices and immigration rhetoric. When asked about his controversial remarks labeling H-1B visa workers as "foreign indentured servants," Vance acknowledged the imperfection of his language but clarified that he was criticizing companies rather than immigrants themselves. Additionally, Vance stated there is a chance he may not run for president in 2028 due to personal and family considerations.
