“We’ve got to take America’s streets back for the American people,” Vance said.
The vice president was asked if the administration expected to deploy troops in Atlanta too, and Vance didn’t directly answer but said the administration has focused on Washington.
“We hope the people see what we’re doing in Washington, D.C., and follow our example all across the country,” he said.
Vance also did not answer a reporter’s question on what was happening to homeless encampments that had been removed from areas around D.C.
