Vance is going on the attack. He wants to squash the radical Left agenda as quick as possible.
And Democrats turned white as a ghost after they discovered what JD Vance plans to do to them.
In a groundbreaking move, Vice President JD Vance has been tapped to lead the Republican National Committee’s fundraising efforts as its new finance chair. Speaking to Fox News Digital, Vance expressed his enthusiasm, vowing to collaborate closely with the party to “fully enact the MAGA mandate” and expand the Republican presence in Congress come 2026.
The RNC Executive Committee didn’t hesitate, unanimously greenlighting Vance for the position, according to an RNC official who spoke with Fox News Digital. This marks a historic first for the GOP—no sitting vice president has ever stepped into this role before.
An RNC insider described Vance’s appointment as “unprecedented,” highlighting the tight alignment between the White House and the RNC this cycle.
“Everyone is laser-focused on growing our majorities in 2026, and we are going to aggressively fundraise to be ready for next year,” the official told Fox News Digital.
Vance, reflecting on Trump’s triumphant return, pointed to the “historic election victory, taking back the White House and helping Republicans regain control of the Senate and retain control of the House.”
But he didn’t stop there. “To fully enact the MAGA mandate and President Trump’s vision that voters demanded, we must keep and grow our Republican majorities in 2026,” he emphasized.
“I am excited to work with Chairman Whatley and the RNC leadership to build the war chest we need to deliver those victories next November,” Vance said, signaling a proactive approach to the midterms.
President Trump himself chimed in, offering high praise. “JD will do a fantastic job as RNC Finance Chair,” he told Fox News Digital. “He knows how to fight and win tough races.”
Trump also expressed confidence in Vance’s partnership with RNC Chair Michael Whatley, noting, “I’m glad he’ll be working with Michael Whatley to help us secure our elections, get out the vote, and win big next year!”
Whatley, meanwhile, couldn’t hold back his admiration for Vance, calling him “the definition of an American success story, rising from a childhood where his family faced great struggles to become one of the youngest vice presidents in our nation’s history.”
He went on to laud Vance as both a gifted communicator and a visionary shaping the GOP into a party that champions the working class—specifically, “the forgotten men and women of our country.”
Whatley also expressed gratitude to Trump for his guiding hand and eagerness to team up with Vance to ensure Trump has the congressional support needed to “Make America Great Again.”
Vance steps into the shoes of Richard “Duke” Buchan III, the outgoing finance chair, whom Trump recently named ambassador to Morocco.
Whatley saluted Buchan’s “tremendous service” to the RNC and the party, crediting his efforts as a key ingredient in the GOP’s 2024 wins. “His efforts were an essential contribution to our success in 2024,” Whatley stated.
Looking ahead, the Republican Party is determined to ride the wave of their 2024 success straight into the 2026 midterms. With Trump’s agenda front and center, the GOP aims to solidify its gains by keeping voters energized and engaged. Party leaders see the midterms as a critical opportunity to lock in the MAGA vision for the long haul, building on the momentum of retaking the White House and securing congressional control. Vance’s role as finance chair is a cornerstone of this strategy, ensuring the party has the resources to back candidates who align with Trump’s priorities.
To keep the fire alive, the GOP plans to double down on its grassroots game. Expect a relentless push to connect with everyday Americans—particularly in battleground states—through town halls, rallies, and digital campaigns that hammer home the message of economic growth, border security, and cultural values. The party intends to frame the midterms as a referendum on Trump’s first two years back in office, betting that tangible wins will rally the base and sway undecided voters.
The RNC, under Whatley’s leadership and with Vance steering the financial ship, is also gearing up for an all-out fundraising blitz. They’re not just aiming to maintain their edge but to expand it, targeting vulnerable Democratic seats and shoring up Republican strongholds. By stockpiling cash early, the party hopes to outpace opponents in ad spending and voter turnout efforts, ensuring that the energy of 2024 doesn’t fizzle out but instead fuels a red wave in November 2026.
