I really don't understand why they would focus on elevating Vance. He's never really been a part of their movement, and the base has always known this.
They'd be orders of magnitude pushing a Tucker Carlson/ Candice Owens ticket, which, as a leftist, should be your greatest fear. Tucker Carlson has been able to keep an outsider status with the arms length he's always kept with the administrations once they are in office. Candice Owens has one of the most popular podcasts in the country. Both have extremely wide reach.
And most importantly, they've kept outsider status. And the US is still starving for change, and has been belligerently electing whomever represents that since 2008. Whoever gets to claim that mantle wins the election. And both Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens are far more capable political actors than Vance could ever be. Vance's only role in the campaign was securing the Silicon Valley oligarch bag. It was the price of admission.
He's part of the Dark Enlightenment movement, progenitors of Project 2025.
