"In a recent Senate vote, Vance as the Vice President is called on to break the tie by casting a final vote. Seems simple enough-the only issue is that Vance appears to not be totally sure what he's voting for until a woman whispers the right answer in his ear. He then quickly votes affirmative and says, "Gotta make sure.""
"What seems to have happened here is that in a (hopefully brief) moment of unchecked power, the Tr*mp administration seems to have stopped committing to their admittedly terrible performances and admitted to being the complete know-nothings they've been from the very start. We saw similar energy with Pam Bondi in last week's hearing, where she refused to answer a single question put to her. Now we're seeing Vance fully drop the veil and put his incompetency on obvious display."
"It's not surprising that a man well known for being a spineless loser is continuing on that track. He started off the year by falsely claiming that ICE officers in Minneapolis and elsewhere had "complete immunity" in however they chose to harass and intimidate their victims. He then got booed at the Olympics after flying an entire plane of food to the cuisine capital of Europe. But now he's seemingly given up even trying to be serious about his job."
JD Vance appeared uncertain during a Senate tie-breaking vote, seeming unsure what to vote for until a woman whispered an answer in his ear, after which he quickly voted affirmative and said, "Gotta make sure." The clip went viral and prompted questions about his competence and willingness to follow cues. The moment was framed as part of a broader pattern of performative incompetence within the administration, with comparisons to Pam Bondi's recent hearing behavior. Vance has also made false public claims about ICE immunity and faced public criticism at the Olympics, underscoring concerns about his seriousness for the role.
