MEDIA: JD Vance Maps Out a Future for the Tech and MAGA Right

Politico's Ian Ward on whether Donald Trump will attempt to enlist
Peter Thiel's VP JD VAnce to serve as Trump's Deputy Chief Sales
Critter for Trump's bipartisan, comprehensive, merit-based,
immigration reform legislative legacy authored by the Cheap Labor
Lobby and passed by Mike Johnson's House.GOV and John Thune's
Senate.GOV and whether Thiel will allow Vance to commit political
suicide:

| Vance's silence has been especially conspicuous considering his
| unique position in the skirmish. A former Silicon Valley venture
| capitalist who rose to national prominence as the face of MAGA's
| populist-nationalist wing, Vance sits at the center of the slow-
| simmering conflict that has been brewing between the so-called tech
| right -- led by figures like Elon Musk and venture capitalist Marc
| Andreessen -- and the populist right, championed by MAGA stalwarts
| like Steve Bannon. Yet even as the two leading factions of the Trump
| coalition have repeatedly clashed in recent months -- over the Trump
| administration's approach to immigration restrictions, tax policy,
| artificial intelligence and more -- Vance has stayed studiously
| quiet.

Does Susie Wiles foresee a GOP.COM striver for WhiteHouse.GOV finding
a patron among America's 800+ billionaires willing to fund a
barnstorming campaign to outflank Trump-Vance with an immigration
moratorium stump speech?
