Vice President JD Vance found himself the subject of widespread ridicule from internet critics after delivering an awkward answer about his 2028 ambitions.
Vance joined “The Story with Martha MacCallum” on Tuesday to discuss topics such as Fox News polling, midterm elections, Iran negotiations, and the Munich Security Conference.
At one point during the discussion, she pressed him on his long-term goals.
“Surely as vice president, you’d like to be president,” she inquired.
Vance immediately let out an awkward laugh.
“Ha ha ha. Would I?” he quipped. “I think, again, I’m gonna try to do as good of a job as I can right now.”
The odd deflection caught the attention of social media critics who blasted the vice president and his charisma.
Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of the progressive Pod Save America podcast, wrote on X, “It’s really hard to see someone this awkward successfully navigating the brutal glare of a Presidential campaign. Vance makes Ron DeSantis seem smooth.”
Journalist Luke Radel wrote sardonically on X, “The charisma is overwhelming.”
The conservative anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project wrote on X, “He makes Tom Cotton look cool.”
Professor and independent journalist Adam Cochran wrote on X, “What a loser. Imagine being a heartbeat away from the presidency and being on such a short cuck-leash that you can’t even pretend you’d like the job without pissing off Dear Leader!”
Aspiring screenwriter and actor Bryan Blessey wrote on X, “This guy is, BY FAR, the most vapid Vice President in the modern era. Of all the fraudulent, greedy, deeply unserious, overwhelmingly dorky people in politics, JD takes the cake. Hard to think of any politician than this insufferably whiny, self righteous (& annoying!) VP”
