In a discussion with CNN and Washington Post alum Chris Cillizza, the veteran political analyst argued that President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a military operation in Iran had damaged his No. 2’s political prospects in several ways.

“JD Vance’s presidential aspirations are dead,” Todd stated bluntly.

“That is a hot take!” exclaimed Cillizza before asking Todd to explain.

“There is no recovering from this, because you’re the vice president!” Todd responded.

“It’s what happens. It’s like what happened to Kamala Harris. Whatever identity JD Vance had that was different from Donald Trump’s is gone. Now you own everything he does. And it’s clear he’s a little uncomfortable with this, right?”

“It’s exactly the opposite of what he advocated,” Cillizza agreed.

“He cannot ever run against this. The one thing that made him different is gone. The differentiator is gone. His America First credentials are non-existent. There is no recovering from this,” Todd concluded.
