I think JD knows his wife would be tormented by the MAGAs. And it would be hard on his children too. He might have to step in if Trump passes, but I bet Thiel, et al, are telling him to step down in 2028..
I read somewhere that he may - at the urging (and possibly an ultimatum) of his wife - consider resigning the Vice Presidency altogether, presumably to mitigate his legal exposure for his role in the current administration. Say what you want about Usha, but she is a very talented lawyer who must see exactly where this is headed in the *highly* likely event that 47 either passes away, or just loses the House in November.
I think Usha is amazing. But sadly, I think the MAGA base sees her as a "brown" person only..guess we'll see what happens. Trumps health seems to be getting worse.
She was first in her class in law school...no easy task. Met JD when he couldnt stand Trump. But there are children involved, and from what Ive seen, she doesnt support the administration. Just her children, and I think she loves her husband. But I wouldnt be surprised if she doesnt like what they are doing. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling shes just going along w this for her children. And maybe she is supporting the idea of JD resigning. Guess time will tell...
Usha is a hypocrite! Doing this for her kids is ridiculous, what women believes that. She just feels she’ll eventually be accepted as a whte women bc of her credentials and light skin??WRONG! Delusional! MAGA will never accept her like “tacky ho” is. JD better rethink his stance before they turn on him, too many strikes! I hope they both get what they deserve, belittled and ousted!
Perhaps not. But if she - a far more intelligent person and better lawyer than he has ever been - has been warning him of the legal implications and potential consequences he will face in the increasingly likely event that the Democrats take back control, that is a powerful incentive to do as she advises.
True..sadly, if someone with money and influence tells him to step down, he'd do it for them. I think he does love his family, but hes easily influenced...obviously (!)..went from calling Trump Hitler to wiping his a**!!! And I think he feels indebted to Thiel who's calling the shots.
I think we should focus on turning out Democratic voters -- especially those who stayed home in the last presidential election -- by developing a platform for improving Americans' healthcare, education, the economy, jobs, and affordability by taxing the ultra-wealthy to pay for it. I don't give a hoot which subservient, do-nothing, enabling Republican runs. We should not spend time or energy speculating about it.
Thanks, same here. If Dems are hoping to just coast along with WE ARE NOT TRUMP platform too risky. Dems thought they had shoe in over abortion. That is warning that women's rights unfortunately are not front and center. Running another woman (Kamala please stay home) not a good idea. Dems need new, fresh leadership, not concerned with their stock portfolios.
I personally like Pete Buttigieg. Not sure USA will go for married gay. He has put up with a lot of crap over it and it has made him tough as nails. See him in some cabinet position where he can make a difference. I have seen him in action and he is well spoken.
This column ignores the fact that Vance is totally unlikable no matter what your political affiliation is. Have you ever heard ANYONE say "Oh I love Vance, I'm going to support him?"
If JD sits out a cycle i suspect MAGA will lose most of its power. Thats if democrrates come in and get rid of all the MAGA policies, re-establishing norms and laws backed by legislation! That’s a lot of ifs though. I think maga must have a single leader bc the base of republicans aren’t exactly smart people and wouldn’t be able to rally their power without a leader! I hope he sits out and gives dems time to reestablish democracy hopefully stronger than before. Let the dupes return to their rocks, caves, and hollows where they belong. Here’s to rump being a one time freak of nature!
Oh, man; this is a tough one. I don't like him either. I agree with Monica that his blended family as well as his Catholic views wouldn't go over with MAGA
This rumor/story is gaining traction. How much say-so does JD actually have, especially if his crypto coin is fast losing value? The idea of a VP resignation- was Spiro Agnew the last one to do so? - is novel to say the least.
So much freaking drama. Too bad the world seems to be going to shit, as some say, as the new cast of the renewed APPRENTICE franchise grovels and grapples through the script.
I am devastated by what is happening in the lives of folk around the global communities as these pretenders frolic in their privileged plenty. Jesus wept
Perhaps JD sees himself as part of that wealthy evangelical/Catholic cabal-the 2025 creeps who have slithered into our government ( Russell Voght, the FCC guy, etc) plus the old members who are still around stirring their pots (Pompeo, Ball, et al), and, of course, several of the Supreme Court justices. I may be lumping all of the right wing Catholics together with the Christian Nationalist kindacatholics but aren't they all bedfellows? That kinship may not help him with MAGA, though.
I think it might be interesting to consider what HARRIS looked like about 18 months in the Biden Administration. Wasn’t she ostracized to some degree as well? Vice Presidents seem to be discarded easily.
He has 0 integrity. He will go hard any direction the wind blows. I want to know who was paying him to be anti-Trump before Trump paid him to shut up go along.
Okay, I just had a great thought… underneath it all, JD Vance is still a "Never Trumper" who had acting lessons secretly paid for by the DNC. He then grifted his way in with Donald by becoming a FAUX Trumper...and if he gets to be president, he will revert back to being a Democrat and undo everything. Now wouldn't THAT be something? 🤯

Why is Ursa amazing? She's supporting the most corrupt administration in history.

I hope you are right, but his public actions don't show him considering his wife and children above his ambitions.
Perhaps not.

He's also tough as nails because he's a Marine.
Ohhhh HELL NOOOOOOOOO!! NO JD !!!

Vance family is multicultural NOT blended(reserved for second/third marriages and groups of offspring).

Just wanna remind jd,. you wanted this job.
Hahaha 😂
