The MAGA Senator, who is vying to be Trump's running mate in the 2024 election, was called out after sucking up to the ex-President's son in a post on X.

Ohio Republican Senator J.D. Vance was dragged online after calling Donald Trump Jr. "one of the best people" in a fawning social media post.

Vance shared the link to an Axios article in which Trump Jr. is described as "MAGA's new kingmaker," detailing the elder Trump scion's efforts to "become a behind-the-scenes power broker in GOP politics — a guy whose endorsements are coveted as much as anyone except the former president's [former President Donald Trump]."


He wrote:

"Don is one of the best people I’ve met in politics. He genuinely believes in America First and works his ass off to make it a reality."

You can see his post below.

It was exactly the sort of comment one would expect from Vance, who is currently vying to be Trump's vice presidential pick—and people were quick to mock him for it.




Vance previously secured Trump's endorsement during his Senate campaign and is considered one of Trump's strongest allies in Congress, openly supporting Trump's claim of absolute immunity, which is currently being reviewed by the Supreme Court. A decision on the matter is expected later this month.

Trump has reportedly been considering Vance as a potential vice-presidential candidate, with plans to announce his running mate early in the summer before the Republican convention.

This week, Vance revealed during a Fox News interview that former President Donald Trump's campaign is asking potential vice presidential picks whether they've committed any "crime"—which is ironic because Trump himself would be disqualified on those parameters.

Last month, Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. A New York jury last month found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election. His sentencing is set for July 11.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
