JD Vance looks tired, but he's feeling upbeat. I'm sitting with the vice president in his office aboard Air Force Two, somewhere over Western Europe, heading home after marathon peace talks with the Iranians in Switzerland. He's exchanged his suit and tie for a sweater and jeans. His wife, Usha, lies on the nearby bed, heavily pregnant, now reading, now tuning into the conversation, now dozing off.
Vice President JD Vance praised former President Richard Nixon as a “character in history” with whom he’s “fascinated,” saying he personally liked the 37th president for the similarities they shared in public office. “A young senator, vice president, writes some bestselling books, is hated by the media — it kind of sounds like JD Vance,” […]
Vice President Vance hosted Republican senators for dinner Wednesday evening following President Trump’s contentious meeting with GOP senators on Capitol Hill earlier in the day. The vice president’s office confirmed to The Hill that the gathering took place hours after Trump vocally clashed with Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) over the senator’s vote in favor of…
During a late June visit to the Middle East on Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with leaders of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kuwait to discuss foreign policy matters — including President Donald Trump's ceasefire agreement with Iran. Trump's son-in-law Michael Boulos was sitting next to Rubio during a meeting with UAE's president, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in Abu Dhabi — and Boulos' presence is raising questions. On X, formerly Twitter, Rubio posted a photo from that meeting, noting that he discussed the memorandum of understanding signed by the U.S. and Iran as well as "efforts to secure full and safe transit through the Strait of Hormuz" and "regional stability."The New York Times' Edward Wong is among the reporters drawing attention to the fact that Boulos, who is married to President Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump, was sitting next to Rubio. Wong, on X, observed, "Trump's son-in-law, Michael Boulos, sits next to Rubio in this meeting in UAE with Sheikh MBZ, the country's leader. Boulos is a businessman who has no official post (his father has one). He visited UAE in May 2025 with Trump for a business event."Wong, in a separate tweet, noted, "On that May 2025 trip, Michael Boulos and Tiffany Trump were at a business roundtable in UAE at which President Trump gave a speech."Speaking to reporters in Kuwait City, Kuwait, Rubio was asked about Boulos and responded, "Oh, Michael Boulos? His brother lives here. He was just at the meeting to catch up."Rubio also told reporters, "I'm a good friend of Michael. So we had a chance to catch up."But journalists are pointing out that Boulos doesn't actually serve in the Trump administration in an official capacity, and they find his presence during Rubio's meeting with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan odd and Rubio's explanation vague. CNN's Aaron Blake, formerly of the Washington Post, tweeted, "From Rubio's exchange with reporters on this — > Q: Sir, can you clarify — can you clarify what the role of Michael Boulos was today?.... RUBIO: Oh, he was there to see his brother who lives here. He was just there to see me and catch up."Rubio was once a scathing critic of Donald Trump, repeatedly attacking him when they were competing for the GOP nomination in the United States' 2016 presidential race. But Rubio and Donald Trump later made amends, and now, he wears multiple hats in Trump's second administration. In addition to serving as secretary of state, the 55-year-old former U.S. senator is acting national security adviser.

Reflecting on the career of former President Barack Obama, the author Andrew Ferguson lamented that “we have lost a writer and gained another politician.” Can the same be said of Vice President JD Vance? The similarities between the 44th president and the 50th vice president of the United States are striking: broken homes, absent fathers, […]
