Former Massachusetts Governor and current Utah Senator Mitt Romney recently made headlines with his scathing remarks about Ohio Senator JD Vance, as revealed in a 2023 biography. Vance, who was chosen as former President Donald Trump’s running mate, has been making waves in the news cycle for various reasons. From the possibility of being the first U.S. vice president with facial hair since 1933, to lending credibility to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Vance’s actions have not gone unnoticed.
Romney, in an excerpt from McKay Coppins’s biography “Romney: A Reckoning,” expressed his disbelief at Vance’s transformation from a vocal Trump critic to a staunch supporter. Romney had previously hosted Vance at his Park City summit in 2018, after being impressed by Vance’s book “Hillbilly Elegy.” However, with Vance aligning himself with the MAGA image in his Senate run, Romney questioned Vance’s motivations and integrity.
Romney was quoted as saying he couldn’t disrespect someone more than Vance, and questioned how Vance could sell himself out for fame and power. The excerpt from the biography sheds light on Romney’s thoughts on Vance’s political evolution and his alliances. As the news of Romney’s remarks spread on social media, it has sparked discussions about Vance’s political journey and alliances.
The revelation of Romney’s words in the biography adds another layer to the ongoing political drama surrounding Vance and his rise as a potential vice presidential candidate. As the 2024 election approaches, Vance’s associations and allegiances continue to be scrutinized.
