The abrupt course correction of MAGA foreign policy to an interventionalist approach has left Vance on the outside looking in. As a proper lap dog, Vance recites the party line, echoing full support for whatever foreign misadventure Trump seems to favor at this point in time. Rather than eke out his own place in the MAGA hierarchy, Vance is reduced to being Trump’s proconsul, being passed up in importance by Witkoff, Bondi, Rubio, Miller, and Bessent.
As a 2028 aspirant for the MAGA throne (assuming Trump vacates it), Vance finds himself in the unenviable position faced by many Vice Presidents – saddled with the liabilities, overshadowed by others, and receiving no praise for the successes.

I honestly think Vance’s best shot might be to resign from the administration over the war. It’d cement him with the growing anti-Trump groyper faction and detach him from an incredibly unpopular administration.
