JD Vance as his vice presidential running mate for the 2024 elections, many people on social media brought up Vance's past controversial opinions. Some posts claimed Vance once said women should stay in violent marriages. While the posts shared excerpts from a real interview with Vance, he did not explicitly say women should stay in abusive marriages. He did detail his grandparents' violent relationship and commended them for staying together in spite of it. Vance also said ending marriages and encouraging divorce, even when domestic violence was involved, is not necessarily good for the children in those families. Snopes reporter Nur Ibrahim detailed the full context in which he shared these opinions, as well as the subsequent clarifications he issued.
