Vice President JD Vance faced pointed questions from voters about Trump administration policies in a CBS town hall aired Saturday night.

Vice President JD Vance faced tough questions from voters about the Trump administration's policies on data centres, high costs, immigration and his own rhetoric during a CBS News town hall that aired Saturday night in West Palm Beach, Florida. Some of the sharpest queries came from voters who said they had supported him and President Donald Trump, previewing challenges he may face if he runs for president in 2028.

Among the most pointed questions was one from Joey Amor, whose wife Master Sgt. Nicole Amor was killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait on March 1. Amor asked about mistakes and fundamental failures that led to the deaths of six U.S. soldiers in that strike, which occurred the day after Trump started the war with Iran. He pressed the vice president on how leaders would be held accountable.

Vance said he was unaware of the incident. 'This literally is the first time I've heard of this,' he told Amor. He added: 'This job is an amazing honor, but you live in a bit of a bubble and sometimes information doesn't filter up.' Vance said he wanted to talk with Amor to learn more afterwards.
