Traditionally, the Vice President has maintained a low-key political presence, except for those who eventually became presidents.
However, since assuming office, Vice President JD Vance has changed this norm and emerged as a consistent figure in global discussions from South America to Germany and Australia.
“It seems logical in American history that the Vice President is often behind the scenes, maybe 100 years ago when we lacked such an advanced media landscape.”
“Nonetheless, currently, especially in light of shifts within the country. [the] The conservative movement significantly benefits President Trump and the conservative agenda by having not only a very engaged vice president but also a very outspoken individual, and I am also quite successful.”

Out of the 50 vice presidents in history, it is noted that many have faded from the public’s consciousness, apart from those who went on to become presidents, including George HW Bush, Joe Biden, Richard Nixon, Chester Arthur, and Andrew Johnson.
Vice Presidents like Dick Cheney from Wyoming, Aaron Barr from New York, John Calhoun from South Carolina, and Elbridge Gerry from Massachusetts are recognized as four rare vice presidents who were more visible than their counterparts.
Gerry’s name is associated with the term “gerrymander.”
Cheney frequently represented former President George W. Bush in press conferences regarding foreign policy. Barr is infamous for dueling and killing Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. Calhoun was a prominent advocate of slavery in the 19th century.

Roberts noted that Trump skillfully utilized Vance as a representative to European nations, as he shared his experiences with European officials attempting to comprehend the dynamics of the US under Trump Vance.
“JD Vance functions as an intermediary,” he stated. [speeches] over the past few years. ”

Roberts highlighted the insights gained from his Senate and military experience as preparation for engaging with Europeans, explaining that this is why Vance has prioritized European issues over other geopolitical areas emphasized in Trump’s foreign policy.
In contrast, Secretary of State Marco Rubio seems to take on a Vance-like position in Central and South America, potentially due to his Cuban heritage and fluency in Spanish, allowing him to grasp Southern geopolitical matters.
“I see it as part of my legacy [of] “Trump Vance will undoubtedly reinvigorate American strength, employing only the threat of military force, unlike the neoconservative interventionism that characterized the earlier Republican administration,” he remarked.
