Story summary

Vice President JD Vance faced tough questions from Michigan voters during a CBS News town hall aired on October 17, 2026, just weeks before the midterm elections. At the event in Flat Rock, Michigan, a voter confronted Vance over high gas prices, noting that prices were significantly lower under former President Trump. Vance blamed both the Biden administration and Iranian "terrorists" for the current high costs. Another questioner challenged Vance on his immigration rhetoric, citing statements about H-1B visa workers as “foreign indentured servants,” which Vance acknowledged might have been imperfect but intended to criticize companies rather than immigrants themselves. The town hall highlighted potential challenges Vance could face if running for president in 2028, especially regarding the Trump administration's record and ongoing issues like the war with Iran.
