We did not have a lot of money, said JD Vance, placing hand on heart as he recalled his childhood in Middletown, Ohio in the 1990s. I was raised by a woman who struggled often to put food on the table and clothes on her back.
I think that we need to reject all forms of ethnic hatred, whether it's anti-Semitism, anti-Black hatred, anti-white hatred. And I think it's one of the great things about the conservative coalition is that we are, I think, fundamentally rooted in the Christian principles that founded the United States of America. And one of those very important principles is that you judge people as individuals. Every person is made in the image of God.
On Friday night, when Donald Trump met with a small group of senior Administration officials and decided to authorize a raid in Caracas by Delta Force commandos to capture Nicolás Maduro, those present included Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Secretary of War Pete Hegseth; the C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe; Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Stephen Miller, the President's most essential policy adviser, omni-portfolio'd and grimly saturnine.
The president offered multiple off ramps, but was very clear throughout this process: the drug trafficking must stop, and the stolen oil must be returned to the United States. Maduro is the newest person to find out that President Trump means what he says. Kudos to our brave special operators who pulled off a truly impressive operation, Vance continued before adding another post: And PSA for everyone saying this was illegal: Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas.
Enten began by telling anchor Sara Sidner, I will just note it is never, never too early to talk about this because these guys are running already, even if they haven't formally declared. They're already running, and JD Vance is running well ahead of the field. I mean, take a look here. Top chances to be the 2028 GOP press nominee, the prediction market odds.
The liberal governor said the Trump Administration was waging war against his state and the Somalis who live there because it is racist. This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit; this is what happens when they scapegoat, and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy, Walz said. He continued, When you hear the vice president of the United States talk about Now white people won't have to apologize for being white.' That's never once happened in my whole damn life.
Speaking with Fox's Martha MacCallum, McEnany called Kirk's endorsement powerful before adding a word of caution for the party. I think it's very important that the Republican party have a competitive primary, she said. It makes you tougher. We see how much weaker, in my opinion, the left was by not having a primary [in 2024]. I hope we have that competitive primary, she stressed.
(AP Photo/Matt Rourke) Vice President JD Vance brushed off online scrutiny over a viral photo, both unverified and of uncertain origin, claiming to show him arguing with his wife Usha at a restaurant. The image, which depicts Vance in a white T-shirt and Usha with her head bowed and hand to her face, triggered a familiar rush among political antagonists keen to diagnose the state of the couple's marriage.
Wouldn't it be the most perfect MAGA fairytale if he finally sees the light that he needs a white queen, instead of this brown Hindu? Reid said. I'm not saying that's happening, or maybe that Usha's not even in on it, but that's one entrant.
JD Vance, it seems, is everywhere. Berating Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. Eulogizing Charlie Kirk. Babysitting the Middle East peace accord. Profanely defending the aquatic obliteration of (possible) drug smugglers. He's loud, he's obnoxious and, in a very short time, he's broken unprecedented ground with his smash-face, turn-it-to-11 approach to the vice presidency. Unlike most White House understudies, who effectively disappear like a protected witness, Vance has become the highest-profile, most pugnacious politician in America who is not named Donald J. Trump.
I would say that I've thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections, sure. But I also, whenever I think about that, I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now and my job is to do it. And if you start getting distracted and focused on what comes next, I think it actually makes you worse at the job you have.
In Sora Not Sorry, which aired Wednesday evening, Trump and Vance are depicted having intercourse in the Lincoln Bedroom. But boss, what about Satan? the cartoon Vance, depicted as a version of Fantasy Island's Tattoo, asked Trump while the two lay in bed together. In the latest season, the cartoon Trump is in a toxic relationship with Satan and the two are expecting a baby. The cartoon Vance has been working behind the scenes to have the baby aborted.
Millions of Americans yearn for 7 November 2028, the scheduled date of the next presidential election. That's the day the Trump era effectively ends. Probably. That's the day the Democrats will atone for Kamala Harris's calamitous 2024 failure. Possibly. That's the day US democracy is reborn. Hopefully. Succession talk is tantalising Washington. Gavin Newsom, California's governor, has given the clearest sign yet that he'll run and glossing over past blunders, Harris reckons she deserves a second chance.
President Donald Trump theorized about an unstoppable ticket for the 2028 presidential election on Monday, naming Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential running mates who could hang onto the White House. The president answered a slew of questions aboard Air Force One on his way to Tokyo, where he will meet with new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on the second leg of his Asia tour.
