Vice President JD Vance pushed back against a reporter’s question about his stance on President Trump‘s military actions, directly accusing the journalist of trying to “drive a wedge” between him and the president over the situation with Iran. The exchange happened during an Oval Office event where Vance was being put in charge of a new fraud task force.
“You’re trying to drive a wedge between members of the administration, between me and the president,” Vance told RealClearPolitics reporter Philip Wegmann. When Wegmann pressed Vance about his previous positions, given reports that Vance had voiced skepticism before the Iran conflict escalated, the Vice President said his current support for the war comes down to his trust in President Trump.
