JD Vance was a speaker at Heritage 50th Leadership Summit (Source: Heritage Annual Report 2023). Vance will do whatever Heritage tells him to do.

NO to PROJECT 2025, look it up it is horrible and scary. No to Donnie and J.D.

[marialofgren-ipuq]

Keep talking about project 2025. This is extremely important!!

[robertdebrus]

This guy has no moral compass at all worse than Trump because he's smarter and knows better this country is on its way to ruin

[elizabethheyenga]

JD saw the light - it was power and money

[BrianS-nyyd]

That opening quote is SPOT ON. When we review past critics it becomes apparent they actually DO know what garbage T is. But they swallow their pride for selfish ambition.

[lindakautzman]

Now we know why Trump selected this horrible, horrible man

[JamesBondDZeroMi]

Same VP candidate Russia was rooting for since so many Russian donors paid JD Vance. There are some big ties to Russian influence into The Heritage Foundation yet the news media doesn't report on it. How about giving the US viewing public a little in-depth story?

[BrianS-nyyd]

Hopefully Bannon will never leave prison.

[sylviascott]

BINGO!! I knew JD has ties with project 2025

[LaneHensley-es]

Anyone gonna talk about how Prices on things were more affordable when trump was president and how there was peace being made when he was president and how trumps never fallen off a bike or fell up a flight of stairs?Or stutters

[pgluvpe]

You need to keep getting that information out to the public about JD Vance in the 2025 project connect us to over and over and over again because the Public is slow to pick up On that!!

It feels like the choice if you vote Republican is that you are voting for Heritage instead. Why do I get the feeling that Heritage is pulling the strings.

[smvansluijs]

Total opportunist, will change his views in a second if it serves him. Perhaps even more despicable and dangerous than Trump because he is smarter.

1:22 "...And what are voters to make of someone so susceptible to TV..."
Cutting question cutely delivered 👏

[alices]

What I find so sad is we would never have spoken to each other like before social media. We treat each other like enemies. I’ve made comments I’m not proud of but I think it’s time to stop and just take a break. We are so divided and we live in the same country. Social media and the internet has just given us the opportunity to be mean and careless with our words. We can say whatever we want and we feel safe. We are all neighbors and friends, family. We live in the greatest country. Put politics aside for awhile

[munksoe]

Depending on the outcome, it might be the last election in the USA

[nancywood]

Oh dear, Trump isn't even president again yet and Vance has already changed his tune talking about Trump. I am surprised Trump picked someone or anyone who has criticized him. They must have made a deal, as in the "art of the deal".

[josephstropoli]

Just wondering why you are speculating on Vance certifying election when that be Harris’s function, not his ?

[pabos]

Vance's stance on welfare is a bit like a guy saying, "Thanks for the ladder, now let's get rid of it before anyone else climbs out of the hole!" It's like using a parachute to land safely and then turning around and saying, "Who needs parachutes? Just learn how to fall better!"
