Vice President JD Vance has publicly aligned with President Trump on key issues such as U.S. military engagements abroad and the handling of the Epstein files, even though these positions have placed him at odds with the right-wing factions within his own party. During a visit to a factory in Canton, Ohio, Vance defended the administration’s decisions, signaling a notable shift from his previous stances. This realignment has sparked discussions about the potential impact on the administration’s political strategy and its ability to balance internal party pressures with external policy challenges.
