JD Vance is the Vice-President of the USA. He gave a speech in California. He talked about the Watergate scandal. This was a big fraud in the year 1972. President Richard Nixon had to quit then.
Vance said something special. If Watergate happened today, it is only short news. He said 12 hours. He thinks it is crazy that Nixon quit. Vance praised the work of Nixon.
Vance sees a link to Donald Trump. He spoke about the Deep State. That is a secret power in the state. This power made Nixon leave his job. Vance says this power also hurts Trump. He gives no proof for this claim.
The Vice-President compares himself to Nixon. Both men were young senators. Both men wrote books. And both men do not like the press. Experts think Vance wants to be president in 2028.
