Strassel\u2019s July 16 piece left little to the imagination. \u201cPresident Vance Goes AWOL,\u201d the column was topped, with its subheading adding, \u201cThe leader of the Senate could bring Congress together. He\u2019s hawking a book.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>That set the tone for the article. In it, Strassel, who authored a book titled <i>Resistance at All Costs: How Trump Haters Are Breaking America<\/i>, didn\u2019t afford his understudy the same protection, arguing that he has abandoned Americans at a time when they need him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cCongress is crying out for a dedicated White House ambassador\u2014someone who can be trusted to speak for the president, to yea or nay ideas, to shuttle proposals, to wrangle rebels in line,\u201d she argued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Vance is promoting a book.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s team resents that characterization, telling the Daily Beast that Strassel\u2019s narrative is \u201cbulls&#8211;t.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is factually inaccurate. Vice President Vance has been to the Capitol over two dozen times over the course of his tenure as Vice President, including as recently as Wednesday, which the Wall Street Journal and this rag outlet fail to acknowledge in order to fulfill their bulls&#8211;t fake narrative,\u201c a spokesperson said. <\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s media blitz to plug his second book, <i>Communion<\/i>, about his conversion to catholicism, kicked off with an appearance on <i>The View<\/i> on June 16. On June 19, NBC News reported that Vance \u201chad this week circled on his calendar for months.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It came at a time when negotiations to end the war in Iran were in full swing. A framework deal was struck just as the book tour was about to begin. Sources close to the VP told NBC News that he \u201ctreated the confluence of the Iran deal and his book release as a happy coincidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Strassel wasn\u2019t buying it. \u201cLawmakers can count on a few fingers the times former Sen. Vance has set foot in the Capitol,\u201d she wrote, touching on Vance\u2019s role as president of the Senate. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3732\">Young Trump Voters Deliver Damning Verdict on His Second Term<\/a><\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cAs they twist in the legislative winds, they glimpse him mainly on his TV and podcast book tour\u2014 <i>Real Time With Bill Maher<\/i>, <i>CBS News Sunday Morning<\/i>, Fox News, even ABC\u2019s <i>The View<\/i>. Or he\u2019s in Switzerland leading fruitless Iran negotiations. The anger has only grown over Mr. Vance\u2019s decision to position himself as scolder of the body over which he constitutionally presides, rather than showing up for the work.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Strassel cited a Republican senator who feels similarly, protecting their identity for fear of repercussion. \u201cAs we approach incredibly consequential midterms for this nation and this presidency, Senate Republicans are pretty confused as to why the president of the Senate is actively criticizing the GOP, while also being absent from his Senate duties,\u201d they said. <\/p>\n<p>She argued that the GOP has become slightly rudderless since Susie Wiles, Trump\u2019s chief of staff, started undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The party has been stymied further by the death of South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham and the hospitalization of Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell, two power players in the ranks. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever have they more needed an empowered White House bridge to hammer out a basic political strategy. The glaringly obvious candidate is Mr. Vance,\u201d she said of a man who represented Ohio in the Senate less than two years ago. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is\u2014by his reports\u2014trusted by the president. Yet he\u2019s nowhere,\u201d Strassel said, arguing that this shows a \u201clack of interest.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Even stronger yet, she added, \u201cIt fuels criticism that Mr. Vance is putting his presidential ambitions ahead of a GOP Congress\u2019s success. Worse, that he is bashing his own party to win praise from online influencers.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Warning that all of this conspires to create the potential for disaster at the midterms in November, she concluded, \u201cNow might be a good time for the Senate president to show up at the Senate.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3731\">Trump\u2019s Blonde Companion, 34, Turns Up at FIFA Event<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A highly prominent conservative columnist and Wall Street Journal editorial board member has gone nuclear on the \u201cAWOL\u201d Vice President, JD Vance.
