Vice President JD Vance said he is prepared to assume the responsibilities of the presidency if necessary but emphasized that President Donald Trump remains healthy and energetic despite renewed concerns about his age and his medical and mental condition.
In a wide-ranging interview with USA Today, Vance said he remains confident in Trump's ability to serve his term as he "is in incredibly good health" and "he's got incredible energy." Nevertheless, he added that "if, God forbid, there's a terrible tragedy, I can't think of better on-the-job training than what I've gotten over the last 200 days."
