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.
