Following the Vice Presidential debate, there is newfound excitement surrounding JD Vance. His performance on the CBS debate stage was an unrivaled masterclass in debate. He was steadfast in his stances yet diplomatic in his delivery, bringing a refreshing change to the expected hostility of the modern political sphere. In this single unexpectedly brilliant performance, he transformed from a ‘weird hillbilly’ to the publicly acclaimed face and potential future of the GOP.
In his debate performance, JD Vance revealed himself as a brilliant, young, and charismatic Republican politician. After multiple years with Trump at the helm, Vance appears to represent something new and fresh for the GOP, sparking discussion about his potential candidacy for a 2028 Presidential ticket. However, with all the excitement, it can be easy to get caught up in the ‘what ifs.’ We all need to pull back the reins. Presently, and more importantly, is the role JD Vance plays at the moment—the trusty sidekick of a battle-proven President Trump. With only two years of political service under his belt, let’s not jump to conclusions about what the future holds for JD.
In a two-party system, we know the bulk of what to expect from either side. Reputation is everything when deciding who is best fit to lead the nation. During election seasons, all dirt previously swept under the rug gets revealed. While minor issues have been raised about Vance (abortion stance and never-Trump stance), nothing truly damning has come to light. We still don’t truly know JD Vance. While we ride a current Vance high, all we can do is stay hopeful about his future while focusing on his present role. Though I believe the best is yet to come for him, he will need to navigate his path carefully. While it takes a lifetime to build a solid home, a person can still shit the bed in a single night. Tread carefully, Mr. Vance; you’ve set the bar high for yourself.
