Part 4/12:
A core reason for Vance’s rise lies in his exceptional communication skills. With Kentucky roots and a background in media—having been a CNN commentator—Vance has proven adept at engaging both voters and party elites. His television presence demonstrates a capability to argue effectively, dismantling opponents and articulating conservative principles with clarity.
Beyond skill, Vance’s personal story of transformation resonates deeply. Once a critic of Trump, he experienced an ideological conversion, realizing that Trump’s approach aligned with his evolving worldview. This “reformed” stance makes him relatable and appealing to a broad base of voters who appreciate the narrative of redemption and change.
