| "I allowed myself to focus so much on the stylistic element of Trump
| that I completely ignored the way in which he substantively was
| offering something very different on foreign policy, on trade, on
| immigration," Vance told the New York Times in June.
|
| In the same interview, Vance said that he met Trump in 2021 and that
| the two grew closer during his Senate campaign.
|
| Vance declined to be interviewed by Reuters for this article and his
| spokesperson declined to comment for it.

"This is the change in the suicide rate, not the rate itself, but
still, a 40% jump in 20 years is a sign of deep social dysfunction &
likely part of the same contagion that's led to wokism, trans
madness, BLM, Caesaro-Trumpism, etc. We're a sick society" - Mark
