Vice President JD Vance may be the best thing to happen to the Republican Party since, well, his current boss. He's clearly an up-and-comer; young, bright, thinks on his feet, has a compelling back story and a beautiful family. Best of all, he doesn't take any guff from the legacy media - or anyone else.
Advertisement Now the Republicans are giving him a significant role in the 2026 mid-terms. That's unusual, for a vice president to be this ingrained in the party during a mid-term election, but if there's one thing the Trump/Vance administration has done, it's to upset a lot of the old norms. That's for the best.
Vice President JD Vance will serve as the Republican National Committee's finance chair, telling Fox News Digital that he will work with the party to "fully enact the MAGA mandate" and grow the Republican majority in Congress in 2026. This is the first time in the history of the GOP that a sitting vice president will serve in the role. An RNC official initially said the group's Executive Committee voted unanimously to confirm Vance in the role but later clarified that Vance was appointed by RNC Chair Michael Whatley.
An RNC official told Fox News Digital that Vance serving as finance chair is "unprecedented" and shows "just how much the White House and the RNC are in lockstep this cycle." It is nice, I have to say, to see the GOP this coherent for once. I was.
