If JD Vance keeps this up, we might have to start charging admission just to hear the vice president speak.
In a radio interview with Vince Coglianese that was equal parts brutal and brilliant, Vice President Vance took the opportunity to draw a clean, sharp line between how he does the job and how Kamala Harris, well, didn’t. And he didn’t pull punches. When asked how his approach differs from his predecessor’s, Vance responded with a chuckle—and then delivered what can only be described as the political equivalent of a suplex.
“Well, I don’t have, you know, four shots of vodka before every meeting,” he quipped, before taking aim at Harris’s now-legendary string of incoherent “word salads.” For anyone who spent the past four years scratching their heads while Kamala discussed “the significance of the passage of time” or explained foreign policy as if it were a kindergarten group project, the comment was… refreshingly honest. It was a joke, sure, but one based on something that most Americans were already thinking: was she really sober during some of those pressers?

But Vance wasn’t just out to roast for sport. He pivoted, as he often does, to the serious stuff—and it’s the contrast that really stings for the Democrats. He noted that there seemed to be a fundamental lack of trust between Biden and Harris, which, let’s be real, was clear as day. She was put in charge of the border crisis, remember? Then she disappeared faster than CNN’s ratings after 2020. No follow-through, no accountability, no empowerment—just headlines, awkward laughter, and more than a few viral gaffes.
Vance explained that his own relationship with President Trump couldn’t be more different. Trump trusts him. Trump expects him to deliver. And, get this—he does. What a concept. A vice president who understands his role isn’t to bask in attention or curate a personal brand on Instagram but to execute the vision of the president the American people actually elected. It’s wild how novel that sounds, but after four years of the Kamala Show, it’s a breath of fresh air.
Even Vance’s offhand story about the transition was telling. Apparently, his kids weren’t even allowed to see the VP’s residence before the inauguration. Whether it was pettiness, poor staffing, or just more of that famous Harris disorganization, Vance didn’t speculate too much—but the message was clear. The Democrats didn’t just bungle policy; they couldn’t even manage a basic handoff of the keys to the next administration without unnecessary drama.
It’s no wonder the Harris era as VP is now remembered as a punchline. She was picked based on identity checkboxes, not readiness or capability, and the country paid the price. Now, JD Vance is stepping into the role not with selfies or symbolism but with substance. He’s not there to be a mascot—he’s there to serve. And he’s doing it with sharp insight, steady leadership, and, yes, just enough wit to remind people how low the bar used to be.
So next time you hear a left-wing pundit mourn the “historic” nature of Kamala’s term, remember this interview. Remember the vodka joke. Remember the border crisis. Remember the silence when the country needed leadership. And then look at what we’ve got now—a VP who actually shows up, follows through, and speaks like someone who knows what he’s doing.
America voted for serious leadership in 2024. And if Thursday’s radio interview is any clue, it got exactly that—with a side of well-earned sarcasm.
