JD Vance has not gotten any legislation passed in the Senate since his election in 2022

(If I am wrong please teach me)

source-https://legiscan.com/US/people/jd-vance/id/24828?status=passed

"US Congress Senator J.D. Vance [R] | Passed
No matching data found for: any current year legislation from both chambers that has been Passed for all stances sponsored by US Congress's J.D. Vance


The filters may be too restrictive and impossible to fulfill, or the criteria may be met later as the session progresses and data changes."


The biggest advantage for him as the Apricothellbeast VP is his youth and a successor

2. Trump's VP Reveal- NOTE THIS IS BEING POSTED AT 1:15 pm, eastern time.

snip-"Ever since I read and reviewed his best-selling book, Hillbilly Elegy, and then encountered J.D. Vance personally at a conference, he has struck me as someone truly dangerous. Unlike Trump, who broadcasts lunatic views that rally the faithful but scare off traditional Republicans and swing voters, Vance has a gift for dressing up equally extreme ideas in the idiom of serious intellectual discourse. Unlike Trump, who revels in being a prick, Vance in person is a nice guy."

snip-"In many respects, Vance would be an ideal pairing with Trump, both nationally and in key Midwestern states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, and in Western Pennsylvania: Youth complementing age and suggesting the future of Trump’s legacy. Intellectualized, personally likable, softening Trump’s bombast. A narrative of making something of himself after coming from dirt, in contrast with Trump’s silver-spoon upbringing. The only military veteran on either half of either party ticket."


snip-"Yet in slavish emulation of Trump’s own appalling tendency to blame his opponents for his own political use of violence, Vance declared Saturday, “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”


snip-"That leaves North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, the blandest and safest of the possible choices. There would be little risk of his upstaging Trump. Burgum, very much a corporate Republican (his net worth is $100 million) and one who signed a state ban on abortions after six weeks, would signal an olive branch to both the anti-abortion right and the corporate right. He’d perhaps help marginally in upper Midwest states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. And he has an attractive wife, always a plus for Trump."


this is less then a 10 minute read.

he really thinks even calling him Hitler. Could do the same with Lil Marco. Has there ever been a VP other than Pence that failed to endorse the president he served under?

marching around the capitol, blowing a shofar in an example of what America should be -- a christian fundamentalist theocracy? Isn't he also one of those calling for stripping women of their right to vote, as well as the ability and support to pursue a career of their own desire... whether or not they want to be married?
