      Given his age, there is a non-zero chance that he may die while in the presidency?

      JD Vance isn’t exactly a charismatic individual (some might even go so far as call him ‘weird’); so this entire neo-fascist movement may very well fragment and flounder in the not too distant future.

          Why is that? He lacks the cult of personality to be able to carry on after Trump IMO, and was largely picked as a ‘Yes Man’.

              No doubt he’s smart, he hitched his wagon to the Trump train after all - but I don’t think that’s particularly important.

              He doesn’t have Trump’s charisma, so he’d struggle to maintain control over his fan base and would likely face challenges from key faces in the cohort (eg. Ron DeSantis, MTG etc.)

      In not alarming news…Maybe the annual tradition of pardoning a turkey will remain largely unchanged
