2012–2016: Early Political Commentary and Criticism of Trump
Vance expressed skepticism toward Republican orthodoxy, writing in 2012 that "Republicans lose minority voters for simple and obvious reasons: their policy proposals are tired, unoriginal, or openly hostile to non-whites." In 2016, he sharply criticized Donald Trump, calling him "America’s Hitler" in private messages and stating publicly that "Trump is frankly dangerous" and "cultural heroin" who exploits real problems with simplistic, racially charged solutions. He also said, "I can't stomach Trump" and considered voting for Hillary Clinton as a lesser evil.

2021–2025: Shift to Conservative Populism and Policy Positions
By 2021, Vance had shifted toward mainstream conservatism, claiming the U.S. was being run by "childless cat ladies who are miserable in their own lives" — a remark targeting figures like Kamala Harris and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In 2024, after becoming Trump’s running mate, he defended immigration policies using "ordo amoris" (order of love), citing Thomas Aquinas to justify prioritizing citizens over foreigners. In 2025, he argued that economic incentives, not foreign troop deployments, are the best security guarantee for Ukraine.

Vance also expressed disappointment with his wife's religion, even though she has been Hindu her entire life!!

WASHINGTON -- Vice President JD Vance recently told a packed college arena that he hopes his Hindu wife would someday convert to Christianity, thrusting into the spotlight the deeply sensitive challenges facing interfaith couples.

... "To respect your partner and everything they bring to the marriage - every part of their identity - is integral to the kind of honesty that you need to have in a marriage," said Susan Katz Miller, author of the book "Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family."

"Having secret agendas is not usually going to lead to success," she said.

Vance, who converted to Catholicism five years into his marriage with Usha Chilukuri Vance, shared his hopes for her conversion while taking questions at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi. A woman asked how he and his wife raise their children without giving them the sense that his religion supersedes her beliefs.
