JD Vance, a key ally of President Donald Trump, reportedly told House Speaker Mike Johnson that Trump’s adversaries would soon face a “full reckoning.”
According to lip-reading expert Jeremy Freeman, Vance said, “Yes it is, a full reckoning, and long overdue,” before expressing his confidence about Trump’s upcoming speech. The exact targets of Vance’s “full reckoning” remain unclear, but his remarks followed a tense meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky and his recent controversial comments about Britain. Vance has become a strong defender of Trump, even accusing Biden’s rhetoric of directly leading to Trump’s attempted assassination last year. Meanwhile, Trump’s speech drew mixed reactions, with supporters applauding, while Democrats criticized his policies, especially regarding tax breaks for the wealthy.
