Political analyst Mark Halperin has noted that Vice President JD Vance\u2019s tenure stands out as markedly different from that of other modern-era vice presidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early weeks of President Donald Trump\u2019s second term, Vance has emerged as the most active vice president since Dick Cheney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on The Morning Meeting, Halperin emphasized that while Vance\u2019s term is still in its early stages, he has already distinguished himself in positive ways compared to both Cheney and former Vice President Al Gore, and he did so again during a combative meeting on Friday in the Oval Office with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe never know what\u2019s gonna happen. He could crash and burn. Trump could turn against him, although he\u2019ll never \u2014 Don Jr., and [former Fox News host] Tucker [Carlson] will never turn against him,\u201d Halperin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of them reportedly recommended to Trump that he choose Vance as his running mate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd so, I will say, if you look at the modern history, influential vice presidents who had great relationships with the president \u2014 little tension and super sway with the staff and the ability to be their own person but also a team player, you can look at Al Gore. You can look at Cheney,\u201d Halperin remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is unprecedented in our time, what\u2019s happening right now \u2014 his influence and the fact that everybody likes him. And he knows his lane,\u201d he continued. \u201cThere\u2019s no danger of what happened with Gore, with, you know, wanting to start his own political operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo danger of what happened with Cheney, where Cheney overshadowed the president in some ways after 9\/11. Like, this is unprecedented what\u2019s happening here. And he\u2019s proven to be so skillful,\u201d Halperin continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vance has taken the lead on key issues, including negotiating a deal to prevent a nationwide TikTok ban, challenging European elites, and leveraging his Senate connections to help advance critical cabinet nominees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is also a staunch advocate for the Trump administration\u2019s priorities, serving as a chief spokesman for the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and defending the president\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVance carries credibility with so many of these senators, and at a minimum, can be a radar for how they\u2019re viewing things and inform the White House in terms of its own legislative strategy. So yeah, he definitely plays multiple parts for Trump,\u201d Republican strategist Scott Jennings told<\/a> the Daily Caller News Foundation earlier. \u201cObviously, communications is public-facing, and there\u2019s also behind-the-scenes legislative strategy. It was a great pick for Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Podcast host Joe Rogan praised Vice President JD Vance in January after his CBS News interview with Margaret Brennan, calling it \u201camazing\u201d and \u201ca masterclass.\u201d Rogan credited Vance with skillfully countering Brennan\u2019s talking points. Vance appeared on Face the Nation<\/em> on January 26, where he fielded questions on topics such as the economy and immigration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s great. Thank God for that guy,\u201d Rogan said. \u201cHe\u2019s so good at dismantling those dopey people and just breaking down \u2014 she was like, \u2018This is a country built on immigrants.\u2019 He\u2019s like, \u2018Yes, that doesn\u2019t mean that 240 years later we have to have the dumbest immigration policy possible.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Deputy White House Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller shredded Zelenskyy for his behavior during his Oval Office meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think anybody had any idea that Zelenskyy would be so impertinent, so disrespectful, so insulting to the United States of America,\u201d Miller told<\/a> Fox News host Jesse Waters on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook, this is one of the great moments in the history of American diplomacy, the way that President Trump and JD Vance stood up for American interests on the world stage, the way that President Trump defended Americans after years of being fleeced and abused and taken advantage of and taken for granted, millions of American hearts swelled with overflowing pride today to watch President Trump put Zelenskyy in his place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
