He Serves on 3 Senate Panels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Senate he serves on the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee; the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee; and the Special Committee on Aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">33. He Has a Hold on All DOJ Appointments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In June 2023, Mr. Vance announced that he would use his power as a senator to place holds on all future nominees to the Department of Justice.He cited the department\u2019s prosecutions against the former president as the reason for the hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">34. He Wants Abortion Left to the States<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Vance has indicated he supports leaving abortion to the states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that former President Trump\u2019s \u201cleave it to the states approach\u201d is \u201cpragmatic,\u201d and endorsed the Supreme Court decision allowing mifepristone to continue being shipped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, Mr. Vance expressed support for Sen. Lindsey Graham\u2019s (R-S.C.) 15-week abortion ban.In an interview that same year, Mr. Vance said, \u201cI&#8217;d like it to be primarily a state issue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">35. He Spoke in Support of the 2023 United Auto Workers Strike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Vance has spoken supportively of the 2023 United Auto Workers strike.Elsewhere, he\u2019s said he supports collective bargaining \u201cas an abstract matter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">36. He\u2019s Critical of the Iraq War<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Though he served in the Iraq War, Mr. Vance has since been critical of the conflict, saying he made a \u201cmistake\u201d in initially supporting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI served my country honorably, and I saw when I went to Iraq that I had been lied to, that the promises of the foreign policy establishment of this country were a complete joke,\u201d he said on the Senate floor in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.theepochtimes.com%2Fassets%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F07%2F16%2Fid5687139-GettyImages-1993553343.jpg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"image-5687139\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sen.

Critical of Ukraine Aid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Vance has been critical of continued U.S. support for the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since taking office, he\u2019s voted against every Ukraine aid package that\u2019s come to the floor. He\u2019s called for Europe to bear the brunt of financing the war.Mr. Vance wrote in an April op-ed for The New York Times that the current trajectory of the war is unsustainable for either the U.S. or Ukraine. He said that the notion that Ukraine will reclaim all its land lost to Russia is \u201cfantastical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">38. Supports Israel Aid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Vance supports aid to Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a May 2024 speech at the Quincy Institute, Mr. Vance gave a contrast between supporting Israel and Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Ukraine, he said, there\u2019s \u201cno strategic end in sight\u201d and that the Europeans are not doing their fair share. But Israel, he said, is \u201cdoing the most important work to give us missile-defense parity.\u201dHe also opposed the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and applauded President Trump for withdrawing from it in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">39. He Says US Focus Should Be on China<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr. Vance has also taken a tough stance on China, encouraging the United States to focus its efforts there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between war in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, Mr. Vance said, America has \u201cto pick and choose\u201d where it invests its resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe should be focused on our own problems, and that\u2019s mostly China,\u201d Mr. Vance said in April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy argument is the Chinese are focused on real power. They\u2019re not focused on how tough people talk on TV or how strong our alleged resolve is. They\u2019re focused on how strong we actually are, and to be strong enough to push back against the Chinese, we\u2019ve got to focus there, and right now, we\u2019re stretched too thin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.epoch.cloud\/assets\/static_assets\/lto-banner.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As an independent media without a corporate or billionaire backer, The Epoch Times continues to operate thanks to subscribers like you.&nbsp;<strong>If you&#8217;re committed to supporting independent journalism, consider switching to an annual or multi-year plan\u2014you could save up to 45%<\/strong>.View Offer\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thomas E Kresal &#8211; 39 Things to Know About JD Vance, Trump\u2019s Running Mate | The Epoch Times 1h&nbsp;&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;A short outline and great way to introduce the next VPOTUS &#8211; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! 39 Things to Know About JD Vance, Trump\u2019s Running Mate | The Epoch Times PREMIUM REPORTS 39 Things to Know About JD Vance,&hellip; <br \/> <a class=\"button small blue\" href=\"https:\/\/awarningministry.com\/index.php\/2024\/07\/16\/39-things-to-know-about-jd-vance-trumps-running-mate\/\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
