JD Vance’s team is exhausted trying to ‘publicly portray support’ for Trump: insider

As Vice President JD Vance jets off to Pakistan, where he is expected to take the lead in negotiating an end to the US war on Iran, his inner circle is admitting that making a public show of support for Donald Trump is wearing them down.Vance has been reported to have been against the attack behind the scenes, but has been supportive of the president in public.With the New York Times reporting, “Before the war began, the vice president was planning to be heavily focused on traveling the country ahead of the midterm elections, counteracting widespread concerns over the cost of living and affordability by attacking Democrats as out of touch and politically extreme,” he has instead been pressed into service as a war cheerleader along with the rest of the president’s Cabinet. According to MS NOW’s Jake Traylor, that has been problematic for Vance’s team.Speaking with host Anna Cabrera, he reported, “Now he is headed to Pakistan to be the chief lead negotiator for a war he never wanted in the first place, and that has come at a cost.”“I spoke with multiple White House officials inside the White House and also former White House officials that have worked with Vance closely before,” he added. “One person told me that Vance’s national security team is extremely weary right now, trying to publicly portray support for the president and the war that he has started, but also privately having deep concern for the war itself.”“Another White House official told me that, quote, realistically, Vance has lost clout within the White House because of his dissent,” he elaborated. “So there’s been a lack of influence that White House officials are telling me Vance has right now, even though he is ultimately the lead negotiator in this moment.” – YouTube youtu.be
