During a Chris Cuomo-hosted town hall on NewsNation on Thursday, vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance responded to a query from the top of the Republican ticket.

A scheduled phone call from former President Donald Trump briefly interrupted the Ohio senator’s hour-long response to a variety of questions, adding a friendly tone to the town hall.

“We have a call right now from former President Donald John Trump,” Cuomo declared to an audience of undecided voters, many of whom clapped upon Trump’s introduction. “He wants to weigh in. Mr. President, I know there’s a little bit of a delay. Can you hear us, and what is your question?”

“Well, I can hear you, Chris, and I do have a question,” Trump said. “And I think it will be quite an interesting one. The answer should be easy. How brilliant is Donald J. Trump?”

After the audience broke out in laughter, Cuomo said to Vance: “Take your time, think about it.”

“Well, first of all, sir, this is supposed to be undecided voters. I would hope that I have your vote, of all people. But here’s– first of all, sir, of course, you’re very brilliant. And we both agree. We both agree that it’s important to have smart people running the government,” Vance said.

The Ohio senator then praised Trump’s “ability to relate to anybody in any environment,” stating that “that’s the true brilliance of Donald J. Trump.”

“That’s very nice, and I appreciate it,” Trump replied. “Maybe I’ll ask a second one. I watched, believe it or not, CNN last night. And in watching it, I watched the town hall with Kamala. Let me ask you for a second [unintelligible] and it was not good. How brilliant is Kamala?”

“That’s a very tough one, Sir,” he responded. “I’m supposed to say something–”

“Don’t say it,” Trump interrupted.

WATCH:

Earlier this month, Vance quickly rushed to check on a woman who had screamed at a town hall event over the weekend.

The incident occurred Thursday during a town hall meeting in hurricane-ravaged Greensboro, North Carolina, according to the Washington Examiner.

Vance was engaged in a question-and-answer session with the audience, moderated by former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick when a scream interrupted a man’s inquiry about streamlining disaster relief aid.

“Just a second, man,” Vance said. “We OK?” he asked the audience.

The issue seemed to stem from the woman slipping from her seat and shrieking as she lost her balance, the Examiner reported. Vance handled the situation with a joke, however, making a lighthearted jab at Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Kamala Harris built this platform behind us. That’s what happened,” he said, as the audience responded with laughter.

Social media users responded with praise for Vance.
