Vice President J.D. Vance made a comment about his political future as he discussed what he and President Donald Trump believe contributed to the deadly mid-air collision over Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in an exclusive interview set to air on Fox News Channel’s Sunday Morning Futures.

Host Maria Bartiromo asked Vance about his political ambitions after the vice presidency. “You’re one of the youngest vice presidents that we’ve ever seen in the history of our country. Are you expecting to run for president in three and a half years?” she said.

“Maria, you’re the first person who’s asked me that,” Vance replied, smiling.

In one of his first television interviews since assuming office as the 50th Vice President of the United States last month, Vance also discussed Trump’s second-term agenda while addressing the major crises the administration has faced just days into the presidency, including the deadly plane crash that claimed 67 lives last week.

“There is a very direct connection between the policies of the last administration and short-staffed air traffic controllers. That has to stop,” Vance told Bartiromo.

The host also asked Vance about Trump’s mention of progressive DEI policies in connection with the crash between an American Airlines flight and an Army Black Hawk helicopter that crossed its flight path on Wednesday night.
