Scott McConnell of the American Conservative wants Vance to invoke the 25th Amendment [View all]

Sounds great, right?

Then it gets a little wild.

He wants Vance to appoint Senator Chris Murphy as his VP and then announce that he, Vance, will not seek election in 2028.

“My advice to Vance: Announce your support of 25th amendment transition,” Scott McConnell, co-founder of The American Conservative, wrote on X on Sunday. “Say Chris Murphy or similar will be veep. Announce you will NOT be a candidate in 2028. Use your position, access to the media to explain why this is necessary. Don't resign.”

I've been joking with my husband that the only way to end this conflict in Iran is for the con to resign. Yeah, that won't happen.

Invoking the 25th sadly won't happen either but I guess it's good that there is a least some discussion about it among Conservatives.
