The 41-year-old United States Vice President JD Vance indicated on Thursday that he would take over as the President if a “tragedy” strikes, foreign media reported.
Vance further said his current role has prepared him to take over Trump’s office, the reports said.
However, he assured that Trump is in a “good position” to complete his four-year term in the White House.

“God forbid there’s a terrible tragedy, I can’t think of better on-the-job training than what I’ve gotten over the last 200 days,” Vance said, touting Trump’s “incredibly good health” and adding that he expects the president to serve a full term.
Trump said earlier this month that Vance is the most likely heir to his MAGA movement, but Vance continued to brush off speculation about his 2028 plans.
Vance said that his wife, Usha and he are focused on the job he has right now. “And if that door opens later on, we’ll figure it out then.”
Vance then recalled setting foot in the Oval Office for the first time in January.
“It was an amazing thing. I was overwhelmed by the grandeur of the office, all of the incredible history that had been made,” Vance said. “But if I was being honest, it was the middle winter, the drapes were closed. It was very dark. It had kind of a dark and gloomy feeling. This is the workplace of the leader of the free world. It should be a little brighter. I like what the president has done to it,” according to a foreign media report.
Is Trump really unwell?
JD Vance’s remarks coincide with a guess on Donald Trump’s health following a sizable blue mark that has been seen on his hand. When he took the oath of office in January of this year, Donald Trump, who is around 79 years old, became the oldest president in American history.
