JD Vance, the Vice President, has made a stunning statement amid growing concerns over Donald Trump’s health. Speaking to USA Today, Vance declared he’s prepared to step into the Oval Office if tragedy hits the 79-year-old President. ‘If, God forbid, there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten over the last 200 days,’ he said, showing confidence in his readiness.
This comes as Trump, the oldest US President to take office, was recently spotted with a large bruise on his hand during a meeting.
‘The president is in incredibly good health… He’s got incredible energy,’ Vance reassured.
Public reaction has been mixed, with political analyst Sarah Jones tweeting, ‘Vance’s confidence is bold, but is America ready for this shift?’
It’s a lot to unpack loyalty to Trump or a subtle power play? What do you think about Vance stepping up if the unthinkable happens?
