J.D. Vance – American Conservative Movement https://americanconservativemovement.com American exceptionalism isn't dead. It just needs to be embraced.

Vance https://americanconservativemovement.com/senator-mike-lee-has-an-idea-for-senate-majority-leader-j-d-vance/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/senator-mike-lee-has-an-idea-for-senate-majority-leader-j-d-vance/#respond Sat, 09 Nov 2024 05:49:47 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/senator-mike-lee-has-an-idea-for-senate-majority-leader-j-d-vance/ With Republicans taking back control of the Senate and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell finally stepping down, three Senators have emerged as possible Majority Leaders.

Two of them are RINOs—John Thune and John Cornyn—while Rick Scott may not have the support to prevent either “McConnell 2.0” from ascending.

Senator Mike Lee has a plan. Well, it’s really just a theory combined with a wish, but it has a lot of conservatives wanting to sprinkle any fairy dust they can find on it so they can make it come true. The “John Adams Plan” would have Vice-President-Elect J.D. Vance ascend to the role of Senate Majority Leader while also fulfilling his duties as President of the Senate.

Crazier ideas have been put forth. Here’s what Senator Lee recently posted on 𝕏:

Here’s the point I was making:

Regardless of who Senate Republicans elect as the new majority leader, @JDVance will be the president of the Senate, and as such will be in a good position to lead the Senate GOP—to whatever extent and in whatever way he chooses to do so

In that respect, @JDVance doesn’t have to run to be the Senate’s GOP leader

He already did

And he won

So regardless of who might become the majority leader—a position we need to fill from among Republican senators—@JDVance could still “pull a John Adams,” and thus become the highest-ranking & most-influential Republican in the Senate

“Constitutional Scholars” have emerged on 𝕏 to try to shoot down the idea but here’s the thing. The Senate Majority Leader isn’t even a Constitutional role. It is part of the Senate’s own internal rules so giving Vance “side job” as Majority Leader while also retaining his VP role as President of the Senate seems viable.

Having the presidency and retaining control of the House are obviously important if we’re to see Donald Trump’s full agenda fulfilled, but handing the reins of the Senate over to Thune or Cornyn will greatly hamper the agenda. Both have interests that are often opposed to the America First policies Trump wants to sign. With a Democrat-leaning Senate map coming up in the midterms, it appears likely that Trump will only have two years to complete his mission unhampered.

Either Thune or Cornyn would hamper that mission.

Senator Lee’s plan is gaining traction among conservative media heavy hitters. Both Charlie Kirk and Glenn Beck endorsed the plan Friday:

A poll posted by Senator Lee on 𝕏 shows Scott as the favorite among the conservative base.

Meanwhile, leftist corporate media has been attacking Senator Scott. Axios posted an article Thursday claiming that Trump didn’t feel Scott was a good Senate Majority Leader candidate. It cited anonymous sources, of course, but Google searches for Scott taking the role showed the Axios headline up top. That is often enough to spread a false narrative and damage sentiment toward Scott.

Conservative thought leaders on 𝕏 are lining up behind Scott.

President Trump’s first term was subverted by Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. He will be subverted again if “McConnell 2.0” is running the Senate. J.D. Vance or Rick Scott as Senate Majority Leader would put Trump’s agenda into overdrive.

Vance Wins Big in Ohio https://americanconservativemovement.com/j-d-vance-wins-big-in-ohio/ https://americanconservativemovement.com/j-d-vance-wins-big-in-ohio/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2022 04:20:42 +0000 https://americanconservativemovement.com/?p=184697 It’s official. Trump-backed J.D. Vance has won the Ohio election for U.S. Senate, defeating Democrat Congressman Tim Ryan. It was expected to be a very close race but Vance was up by 7-points with 84% of the vote counted.

Senator Josh Hawley welcomed him:

The victory was a key win for Republicans who needed to hold the seat to improve their chances of retaking control of the Senate. As of the posting of this article, tight races in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin are hurting their chances. Arizona, Nevada, and Washington are also still in play.

Vance, a venture capitalist and former employee of Peter Theil, rose to fame with his 2016 book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” which detailed white poverty and addiction in Appalachia. Initially part of the “Never Trump” movement, he later embraced Donald Trump and earned his primary election endorsement.

Now, he’ll be a United States Senator. Congratulations, sir.
