Republican vice presidential candidate and Ohio senator J.D. Vance defended a sweeping deportation plan for undocumented migrants if he and Donald Trump are elected and said he was "extremely confident" they would win the 2024 elections.

"I think we're going to win. I also think that we have to work as hard as possible for the remainder of the election to try to persuade Americans to vote for us. That's the name of the game, " Vance, told ABC News' Jonathan Karl in a pre-recorded interview in his home state of Ohio.

Recent polls show Vice President Kamala Harris, the democratic candidate for president, opening a slim lead over Trump and Vance in key battleground states, including Pennsylvania.

On immigration, Vance told ABC, "I think it's interesting that people focus on, "Well, how do you deport 18 million people?" Let's start with 1 million. That's where Kamala Harris has failed. And then we can go from there."

Vance also defended his previous remarks where he appeared to suggest that people who had children should get extra votes, calling it a "thought experiment".

"Do I regret saying it? I regret that the media and the Kamala Harris campaign has frankly distorted what I said." Vance said. "Because they've turned this into a policy proposal that I never made."
