JD Vance is a Russian Asset

According to the Politico report, "By historic standards, Vance has shockingly little [experience]. No experience balancing a state budget, overseeing disaster response, or wrestling with the legal and moral dimensions of the death penalty. He hasn’t commanded a state National Guard or managed a federal agency or Cabinet office. He’s less than a third into his first six-year Senate term."

After it was pointed out President Joe Biden's campaign plans to paint Vance as "extreme," Steele added, "I think in addition to extreme, I think there's a big question about experience, I mean, this guy is the least experienced individual to hold the office of nominee for the vice presidency and yet no one seems to be talking about that."

He faced criticism during that race over how little the groups accomplished. Despite Vance's stated intentions to identify and produce national solutions to those problems, the nonprofits' only notable achievement was paying to send an addiction specialist to southern Ohio for a year who had questioned the well-documented role of prescription painkillers in the national opioid crisis. Vance has acknowledged that the groups' efforts fell far short of his aspirations. One of the groups—a foundation—filed paperwork in April reinstating the corporate status it had allowed to expire in 2022. The nonprofits were named Our Ohio Renewal and Our Ohio Renewal Foundation.
