"Vance called The Atlantic's reporting false and then pivoted instantly to verifying that it was true. 'Most of these reports I ignore. This one I actually read because it ascribed views to me and things that I had allegedly said that I am just 100 percent certain that I have never said,' Vance stated."
"'Now to answer your question, Will, of course I am concerned about our readiness, because that is my job to be concerned. It's of course my job to ask these questions,' Vance added."
Vice President Vance struggles to balance loyalty to Donald Trump with his political future. He has questioned the Defense Department's portrayal of the war in Iran and U.S. military readiness. Vance's recent comments on Fox News included a unique confirmation-denial regarding The Atlantic's reporting, where he dismissed some claims while affirming his concerns about military readiness. His relationship with The Atlantic is complex, as he advises caution in believing its reports while acknowledging their impact on his public image.
