She was joined by Vance, who also spoke at the rally and took questions from the audience, covering topics including the government shutdown, Christianity and immigration.
“I can believe that the United States should lower levels of immigration in the future, while also respecting that there are people who have come here through immigration, lawful immigration pathways that have contributed to the country,” Vance said.
He added, “My job as vice president is not to look out for the interests of the whole world. It’s to look out for the people of the United States.”

Charlie Kirk shooting
The backstory:
Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University in Orem during the first stop of his American Comeback Tour.
Kirk was speaking to a crowd of about 3,000 people when a single gunshot was heard and Kirk’s head thrust back as he fell. Kirk had a security detail and there was a small police presence at the event, but there was no security check for people who attended.
Investigators say Tyler Robinson, 22, fired a single shot from a building about 140 yards away.
Charlie Kirk suspect appears in court remotely
The 22-year-old man charged with killing Charlie Kirk made his second court appearance remotely. Tyler Robinson is charged with aggravated murder in the Kirk assassination. Robinson’s newly appointed attorney Kathryn Nester is asking a judge for more time to review evidence in his case.
Robinson was arrested the following night when he showed up with his parents to turn himself in at his hometown sheriff’s office in southwest Utah, more than a three-hour drive from Orem.
He is charged with aggravated murder, two counts of obstruction of justice for hiding the rifle and discarding his clothing, two counts of witness tampering for instructing a roommate to delete texts and stay silent and one count of committing a violent offense in front of children.
Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty. Robinson is being held in jail without bail.
