In an op-ed this week for the Wall Street Journal, Ohio senator J. D. Vance praises Donald Trump’s record as president and endorses Trump’s bid for the 2024 Republican nomination.

No surprises there. Vance wouldn’t be in the Senate today if Trump hadn’t endorsed him — or if pro-Trump billionaire Peter Thiel hadn’t bankrolled his campaign. And there’s very little daylight between Vance and Trump on issues ranging from the right-wing panic over “Critical Race Theory” to their shared opposition to a $15 minimum wage.

But Vance’s pitch for Trump is all about foreign policy. According to Vance, Trump broke from the “hawkish” policies of his predecessors and “kept the peace.”
