I'm planning to retire at 59 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life and good healthcare. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that times arrives but l'll also have at least one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with my Stephanie Stiefel my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible

Shouldn’t get to pick his replacement it should go to a special election

[elizabethstern]

Wow! Forgot about JD! Thought it was Musk! Where ya been JD?

[SarafinaSummers]

So it's nothing breaking or really newsworthy, just business as usual. I thought he was resigning from the vice-presidency as well, which wouldn't be unusual given how quiet he's been lately.

[loveyscully]

Damn. I thought he was resigning as V.P.

[tangokashtangokash]

He should resign as Vice president, because he’s a goof ball

[pamelaschoen]

Awesome! Together, he and President Trump will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!

[erikteno]

Why is this newsworthy? Didn’t Kamala Harris do the same thing when she became VP?

[DellaGailStuck]

Hold on! This is how shifty your news media is. He resigning from his Senate seat, so he can vice president. Get the story right!!!

[carvinlambert]

Sad for the Democrats AGAIN!! A New Republican WILL BE CHOSEN, and it just keeps getting better!

[jamiebenedict]

Great maybe we can get someone decent this time!

[CraigMcfly]

If he resigns officially then somebody in Ohio must come in.

[seanpeters]

Vance is only 40, which is 2 years younger than JFK, the youngest president.

[wahstomper]

Now maybe Ohio will get a rep who does something for them.

[barrymohammed]

Jesus is some Godly ppl to fill these positions

[DennisFoeller]

Trump needs to put his brain in gear before he opens his mouth

[coucoubrandy]

Can he resign from the vice presidency ? That man is creepy !

[joehackney]

So is he replacing Donald as Elons VP???

[SharonB]

Wonder what he tinks since Elon took his job as VP 🤣🤣🤣

[sallyandjeffengler]

This would be truly exciting news if not for the reason for his resignation.
