JD Vance has said he is ready to take on the presidency “If God forbid, a terrible tragedy happens” to Donald Trump.

In a wide-ranging interview with USA TODAY, the vice president said he was “confident” President Trump would see out the rest of his term, but added he has had a lot of “on-the-job training”.

He also insisted to White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers Trump was in “incredibly good health”, despite recent questions about the president’s physical wellbeing.

    If God forbid, a terrible tragedy happens

    Yeah, right. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if JD Vance has is eye on the oval office. Remember, he was an adamant anti-Trumper at one point. Sure, he ended up caving and kissing the ring, but maybe that was just a ruse. Either way, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump didn’t make it all the way to the end of his term and Vance ends up being sworn in as president. That might be what some people have wanted all along.
