Some Republicans ‘Horrified’ Critic of Ukraine Aid Could Be First in Line for POTUS

POLITICO reports that Republican security hawks are privately slamming Donald Trump's choice of Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate.

Oh no! POLITICO reports:

Former President Donald Trump didn’t just select a running mate here – he doused political kerosene on the raging Republican fire over foreign policy.

By tapping the 39-year-old Sen. J.D. Vance, one of the party’s leading national security doves, Trump strengthened the hand of the isolationist forces eager to undo the hawkish GOP consensus that has endured since the Reagan era.

Should Trump prevail in November, the non-interventionists will have one of their most articulate advocates at Trump’s side. What worries the hawks is that Vance may also be the last adviser in the former president’s ear.

While toeing the party line and praising Vance in their public comments, in private the interventionists ranged from horrified to merely alarmed that one of the loudest critics of aiding Ukraine could soon be first in line for the presidency. The grimaces, sighs and whispered frustrations from the old guard as they made their way through the convention reception circuit were easy to find in the day after the selection.

Jonathan Martin reports that an influential congressional Republican simply told him about the Vance selection: “I’m scared to death.” "The Ukrainians had better hurry up and win," said Rep. Ken Calvert.

As we've reported earlier, Congressional legislation had a "loan cancellation" clause put in, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was working on a security agreement with the United States that would lock aid in for 10 years, meaning the next two presidents, whoever they may be, couldn't cut it off.

These Republican security hawks are already "horrified" about a Vance presidency. They certainly intend for this war in Ukraine to keep going for a long time.
