Vice President JD Vance will speak at the 52nd annual March for Life on Friday in Washington, D.C., the group announced Thursday, marking his first public appearance as VP.
“We are thrilled that Vice President Vance has chosen the National March for Life for his first public appearance in his new role – a sign of his commitment to standing up for life,” Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life and Jennie Bradley Lichter, President Elect of March for Life said in a statement. “President Trump governed as a pro-life president during his first term which resulted in a long list of accomplishments. We look forward to working with him and Vice President Vance as they dismantle the Biden Administration’s aggressive and unpopular abortion agenda and once again put wins on the board for vulnerable unborn children and their mothers.”
