JD Vance has said he is ready to take on the presidency “If God forbid, a terrible tragedy happens” to Donald Trump.

In a wide-ranging interview with USA TODAY, the vice president said he was “confident” President Trump would see out the rest of his term, but added he has had a lot of “on-the-job training”.

He also insisted to White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers Trump was in “incredibly good health”, despite recent questions about the president’s physical wellbeing.

    Are wie better oft with Trump as the useful idiot? I am not sure if Vance could do even more damage.

      Trump is the cult of personality, though, Vance is a cold fish. Less people like him than liked Pence and it’s all a popularity game on that side now.
