Senator JD Vance asserted that former President Donald Trump believes he is capable of stepping into the role of Commander-in-Chief if necessary. Vance made these remarks during a prerecorded Sunday interview with ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl on the network’s show “This Week.”
In the interview, Karl questioned Vance about Trump’s recent statement that the vice presidential pick is not a significant factor in the election. Vance, in response, acknowledged that voters are primarily focused on the presidential candidates at the top of the ticket, rather than their running mates. However, he emphasized that he is prepared to assume the responsibilities of the presidency if the situation demands it.
“Most people, 99% of the country, they don’t vote on who the vice presidential nominee is. They’re voting for Donald Trump or for Kamala Harris, not for JD or Tim Walz,” Vance stated. “But what I think that [Trump] does believe, because he made it the main focus of his vetting process, is do I think this person can be president on day one if, God forbid, something happens? Yes. So I absolutely am sure that Donald Trump is confident in my abilities. I also think that he’s right that the politics of this really don’t matter that much.”

Vance voted against aid to Israel. Heaven help us should he ever get into the White House. And with Trump todsy being older than Biden eas four years ago, and having even worse cognitive problems…..
Modern, Vance is 100% pro-Israel. He voted against an irresponsible and cynical bill that packaged aid for Israel together with billions to throw down the Ukrainian toilet. He voted for a clean bill that had the aid for Israel and nothing else.
