Sen. Jim Banks (R-IND) has long been an advocate for JD Vance. Before the 2024 GOP convention, Banks urged President Trump to pick Vance as his running mate. Now Banks says, “After President Trump, [Vance] is the next best thing” and is a lock to be the next Republican nominee for president.

Europe Can’t Yet Handle the Truth
Sometimes a friend needs to hear the truth, even or perhaps especially if it hurts. Europe is a case in point.

The problem is that Vance did just that.
