Vance’s Disposable Political Career: Following Pence’s Path to Irrelevance
Vice President JD Vance’s recent actions reveal a precarious political position. While outwardly loyal to President Trump through public displays of support and international diplomatic missions, Vance remains largely absent from the domestic political stage. Trump’s apparent strategy of deploying Vance on international assignments, coupled with his exclusion from key events, suggests a calculated use of the Vice President for specific purposes while maintaining distance. This calculated distance, combined with Vance’s controversial actions and public statements, highlights his vulnerability within the Trump administration.
