Democrats are rushing to portray Vice President JD Vance as the central figure behind the passage of the GOP’s megabill, with potential 2028 rivals arguing it will come back to haunt the MAGA heir apparent.

After 27 hours of debate in the Senate, Vance’s Tuesday vote brought the megabill one step closer to President Donald Trump’s desk. Democrats’ rush to tie the bill so closely to the vice president illustrates their belief that it could be toxic for the GOP in the midterms and 2028 — and that it could hurt Vance if he runs for president once Trump leaves the political stage.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) called Vance’s vote an “absolute and utter betrayal of working families,” while California Gov. Gavin Newsom urged Americans to “bookmark” the moment Vance became “the ultimate reason why 17 million Americans will lose their healthcare.”

“VP Vance has cast the deciding vote in the Senate to cut Medicaid, take away food assistance, blow up the deficit, and add tax breaks for the wealthiest,” former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigeg posted on X. “This bill is unpopular because it is wrong. Congress votes this week, but it’s our voices — and our votes — that will have the final say.”

Even as Trump still has more than three years left in his final term, politicians on both sides of the aisle are already jockeying in the shadows to replace him...

I hope they also mention that Kamala was the tie breaker on a number of bills that put us deep in debt.

Go ahead and shout is as loudly as they possibly can. I don’t think anyone on the right will mind much at all.

Senate DRAMA. That is all it is, giving “centrist” cover for RINO Republicans. We must destroy the enemy at the gates and then with the same feury, destroy the enemy within. This bill could have been passed two months ago, except for RINOS in the House and Senate. FOAD McConnell and the rest of RINO Bitches that are helping the democrats.

We The People: “Why can’t anyone in Washington get anything done??”

JD Vance: “Look at this. I got this done.”

We The People: “Thank you!!”

Democrats: “HEY! HEY LOOK! EVERYBODY! JD VANCE GOT THIS DONE! ISN’T HE AWFUL?”

I am pretty sure I read this on FR a while back. “Democrats have an outrage diode.” Meaning that they only get outraged in one direction.

Good!
Because that will make Vance win by an even bigger margin.
