  • Vance in Budapest: Viktor Orbán’s last throw of the MAGA dice

    Politico EU ^ | April 7, 2026 | By Jamie Dettmer and Eli Stokols
    JD Vance will visit Hungary on Tuesday in an 11th-hour attempt to boost key MAGA ally Prime Minister Viktor Orbán before an all-important election on Sunday, but the U.S. vice president’s trip appears unlikely to swing an increasingly bitter race. Orbán says he is “looking forward” to Vance’s trip, and with a Budapest press conference and a flag-waving rally at a 24,000-seat football stadium on Tuesday will be attempting to seize what momentum he can from it. For the Hungarian prime minister it’s a singular opportunity to portray himself as the Trump administration’s pre-eminent European ally. For the White House,...

    President Donald Trump said Friday that VP J.D. Vance “is now in charge of ‘FRAUD’... In his Truth Social post, Trump claimed that fraud “is massive and pervasive” in the U.S. and said of Vance that “the job he will be doing, in conjunction with many great people within the Trump Administration....” “We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’” Trump continued, “ his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ ... in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money. The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget.” The President did not offer evidence for...

    Top White House aide Stephen Miller joined Vice President JD Vance to launch the White House anti-fraud task force Friday, pledging to "demolish" the kind of corruption that unfairly burdens taxpayers and gives a free ride to bad actors. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump launched the task force via executive order, saying the administration will "use all available resources and authorities to fight fraud, close loopholes, enforce eligibility rules, and protect benefits for eligible Americans, while ensuring States administering Federal benefits programs do the same." Vance serves as its chairman and kicked off the White House event Friday, while...

    Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday the Justice Department will no longer "turn a blind eye" to fraud in the United States, regardless of how big or small the fraud is. Vance made the comment just before he swore Assistant Attorney General for National Fraud Enforcement Colin McDonald into office, who has been confirmed to help lead Vance's national fraud task force. The vice president claimed that the DOJ previously "turned a blind eye" toward fraud that was under an undisclosed dollar amount, but that McDonald has promised to ensure that "no fraud is small enough or big enough to...

Vance isn’t the only White House official who wants to believe—the Trump Administration’s recent registry of aliens.gov is suspected to be the first step of President Trump’s promise to release “Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life,” due to “tremendous interest shown.” What Did JD Vance Say About Aliens And Demons? On Johnson’s podcast, Vance described himself as “obsessed” with UFOs, but said he was too busy to visit Area 51 and start investigating....

    Vice President JD Vance won this year’s straw poll of attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference, with 53 percent of respondents saying he was their preferred choice in the 2028 Republican presidential primary. The figure, announced by organizers on Saturday, was a slight drop from his 61 percent support in last year’s poll, and it came as Secretary of State Marco Rubio continued to emerge as a contender in early 2028 conversations. Mr. Rubio earned 35 percent of the vote at CPAC this year, a leap from his 3 percent in 2025. The poll, which came as CPAC wrapped...

    Vice President JD Vance says the war with Iran will continue “for a little while longer” until the US and Israel can “neuter” the Islamic Republic. “The president’s going to keep at it for a little while longer to ensure that once we leave, we don’t have to do this again for a very, very long time,” Vance told podcaster Benny Johnson. “This country is threatening us in all these ways. They’re still trying to build a nuclear weapon. We need to neuter them for a very, very long time, and that’s the purpose. Vance said the goal of the...

    Back in late January, we reported on how House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (KY-01) announced that the committee was going to be looking into the sudden wealth of Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-05).It was revealed at the time that her husband, purported venture capitalist Tim Mynett, "went from nearly broke to being worth up to $30 million in just a year, according to her 2024 disclosure forms."Specifically, Comer noted that "There are a lot of questions as to how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years. It’s not possible. It’s not. I’m a money guy....

    US Vice President JD Vance held a tense phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week, in which he chided the premier for making overly optimistic predictions about the war in Iran, Axios reports. Vance took Netanyahu to task over how likely the latter said regime change would be, the outlet reported. “Before the war, Bibi really sold it to the president as being easy, as regime change being a lot likelier than it was. And the VP was clear-eyed about some of those statements,” a US official tells Axios, using Netanyahu’s nickname.

    70 hospice and home health providers in Los Angeles were cut off from federal funding in one week after being flagged for fraud by Vice President JD Vance’s anti-fraud task force, with officials indicating that additional providers are likely to be flagged as the review widens. Early findings point to a broader network of activity than the initial suspensions suggest. “As the task force to root out waste, fraud and abuse ramps up, we expect this number to grow exponentially.” As RedState previously reported, the GOP-led House Oversight Committee has now opened an investigation into what they describe as “rampant”...

    Vice-President JD Vance's first step after his appointment to head up a government task force to combat public fraud should be to follow the example set by independent reporter Nick Shirley. Shirley has been knocking on the doors of places that are receiving government funds--like daycare centers and hospices. His most recent adventures have been in pursuit of organizations that purport to be providing hospice services. He is finding that there are no patients in these places, but plenty of expensive cars parked outside belonging to the recipients of the government grants. CBS News had a similar experience when they...

    Vice President JD Vance is projecting loyalty to Donald Trump as the president leads the United States into the type of war the Iraq veteran didn’t want — and as the new conflict complicates Vance’s political future. Vance allies have played down the impact the operation in Iran could have on his presidential ambitions, insisting that a mission involving the U.S. military only for a matter of weeks won’t stay in voters’ memories. People close to the vice president have also conceded to The Washington Post, however, that a months-long conflict will pose a problem for whoever is the next...

    Vice President JD Vance sharply rebuffed a reporter today who tried to exploit his past views on foreign interventions to question his support for President Trump's decisive action against Iran's nuclear program. The exchange came during a press gaggle when the reporter pressed: "Given your past skepticism of foreign adventurism, are you completely on board with the current war in Iran?" Vance didn't hesitate: "I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to drive a wedge between me and the president. What the president said consistently, going back to 2015—and I agreed with him—is that Iran should not have...

    President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order forming a national task force to combat public fraud and placed Vice President JD Vance in charge of the effort. "If we found half the fraud in this country... we would have a balanced budget," Trump insisted. He further joked that he expected Vance to take the role seriously and not merely accept a nominal post, pointing to his predecessor. "This will not be like a Kamala," he said, referring to former Vice President Kamala Harris's tenure as border czar. "I promise, sir," Vance replied. Trump previously announced that Vance would...
