Iran War Looms Over Vance as He Visits Iowa

New York Times: “For Mr. Vance, a former Marine who served in Iraq, the war in Iran highlights the bind he is in as he considers a future presidential bid, pulled between the unpopularity of the conflict — and his own initial skepticism about it — and his role as loyal lieutenant to President Trump.”

“The vice president’s team believes that his political fortunes are inextricably linked to his boss. In polls, he is the front-runner for the next presidential nomination in large part because he is Mr. Trump’s No. 2. Yet he may have to carry the baggage of a president with whom he campaigned explicitly on avoiding ‘forever’ foreign wars.”
