Vance reassures social conservatives’ role in GOP

Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance says social conservatives have a seat at the GOP table “and always will.” The day after accepting his party’s VP nomination, Vance spoke at an evangelical Christian breakfast. He shared about his path from atheism to Christian faith as he sought to reassure the importance of social conservatives. Vance acknowledged the disappointment and grumbling from many pro-life Republicans about this year’s party platform that de-emphasized abortion. He said that social conservatives will be welcome in the GOP as long as he and Donald Trump have influence in the party.
