The following is a transcript of an interview with Sen. J.D. Vance, Republican of Ohio, that aired on May 19, 2024.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And we're joined now in studio by Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance. Good to have you here.SEN. J.D.
Well, I think there are two things here. First of all, many of the tariffs that Joe Biden has endorsed in the last couple of weeks are tariffs that he ran against in 2020.

Look, there's still good things about American universities, but it's going in the wrong direction, Margaret.MARGARET BRENNAN: But so- but Viktor Orban in particular, as you know, I mean he- he rewrote the constitution, he neutered the courts, he has tried to control the media. These are not necessarily conservative principles. So why would you want to mimic him?SEN.
--Let me- let me- let me address that point, Margaret. First of all, I think the reason that we have to be smart in Ukraine is we don't have a strategy. What is Joe Biden trying to do? What is another $60 billion accomplishing that $120 billion hasn't? We have to have a smart strategy to spend American taxpayer dollars. But- but on this--MARGARET BRENNAN: 80% of it funds the US defense industrial base from the supplemental that just passed.SEN.
