JD Vance shapes his vice presidential role with focus on TikTok and foreign policy

JD Vance is defining his role as Vice President by focusing on TikTok, Capitol Hill, and foreign policy. He has been assigned to oversee a deal regarding TikTok, which is facing a potential ban in the U.S. Vance is also acting as a key liaison in the Senate, leveraging his relationships to influence votes on Trump’s nominees. He recently committed to cleanup efforts in Ohio following a train derailment and called for the rehiring of a staffer involved in a controversy. Next week, Vance will embark on his first overseas trip, attending an AI summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference. This trip aims to enhance his foreign policy credentials as he prepares for a potential presidential run in 2028.
