Vice President JD Vance

It’s an incredible honor to take the oath of office as the 50th Vice President of the United States. I look forward to working alongside President Trump to serve the American people. Let's Make America Great Again!

National Police Week is a time to celebrate the brave men and women who keep our communities safe, but it also serves as a solemn reminder of the incredible sacrifices made every day when our police officers put on their uniforms. I mentioned these individuals in my address at the Capitol, but I wanted to give those who gave their lives in the line of duty their due recognition. First, I want to honor a brave officer from my home state of Ohio who was killed in a cowardly ambush attack in Lorain County. Phillip Wagner was an officer in the local police department, and Marine Corps veteran with a beautiful wife and three precious children. Last July, Officer Wagner and a fellow officer were in their patrol vehicle when a man opened fire on their car. Officer Wagner succumbed to his wounds in the hospital, surrounded by his loved ones. Last August, Officer Suzanne O was mortally wounded in Maui County, Hawaii while responding to reports of an armed and dangerous suspect. Suzanne O was a devoted public servant who was awarded the Certificate of Merit two years prior for her tireless efforts during the 2023 Hawaii wildfires. Officer O gave her life in defense of the people she swore to serve, and her legacy of strength and selflessness will be remembered by her family, loved ones and all Americans. Finally, I want to honor three officers from Pennsylvania’s Northern York County Regional Police Department who were killed in the line of duty last year. Detective Mark Baker, Detective Isaiah Emenheiser, and Detective Sergeant Cody Becker were working to serve an arrest warrant against an armed stalker lying in wait outside a woman's home. These talented, seasoned officers confronted evil face-to-face and were met with a brutal ambush by a coward who took these brave husbands and fathers from their families prematurely. These stories, unfortunately, are not unique. Too many other officers have given their lives protecting their communities. The officers I mentioned are just a few examples of the strength and sacrifice that every officer in our country represents. Under the Trump Administration last year, on-duty law enforcement officer deaths were the lowest they've been in 80 years. That’s a stat I’m extremely proud of. Last year, the murder rate in our country was the lowest it's been in 125 years. That's because of the dedication of our peace officers and the shift in our nation that supports and respects the men and women who keep us safe. Peace and safety in our country comes at a price. It is paid for in the blood of brave individuals who make the ultimate sacrifice defending their communities, and in the tears of fallen officers' families. That is a price Americans should never take for granted, and it is a debt we can never repay. To all of our peace officers, thank you for your service.

VP Vance is fighting fraud and saving billions of dollars for American taxpayers🇺🇸

.@VP: "We stopped handcuffing the police, and started handcuffing more violent criminals. We've restored a culture that supports—not second guesses—our officers when they go out and do their important work."

.@VP makes a promise to the law enforcement community gathered at the Capitol: "So long as Donald J. Trump is @POTUS, and so long as I’m the Vice President. We will never again let policymakers in the building behind us allow violent criminals to tee off on our police officers."

The crackdown is here. In full support and collaboration with @VP and @WHFraudTF, SBA is announcing the suspension of about 1,500 borrowers in Maine associated with $93 million in potentially fraudulent PPP and EIDL loans. Like those who were suspended in California and Minnesota, these individuals will be prohibited from receiving any further SBA support.   State by state, we’re identifying fraudsters – and ending their open season on taxpayer-funded programs.     thecentersquare.com/maine/article_…

The crackdown is here.

"In the Old Testament, God does not force Isaiah to serve him. Isaiah knew it would not be easy, but he steps up willingly... He accepts God's call to give his life in service to his fellow man, and today, we remember men and women in uniform who laid down their lives answering that exact same call." — @VP at the @GLFOP's National Peace Officers' memorial service

Fraudsters have been fleecing Americans for too long. That ends now.

There’s a reason President Trump is respected by world leaders, and it’s because he’s consistently shown a level of strength that we haven’t seen from our Commander in Chief in modern history.

If you commit fraud against taxpayers, we're coming for you.

Proud to stand with the @VP’s @WHFraudTF as we leave no stone unturned. American families’ hard-earned money will be saved and fraudsters will be held accountable.

"When President Xi very elegantly referred to the United States as perhaps being a declining nation, he was referring to the tremendous damage we suffered during the four years of Sleepy Joe Biden... But now, the United States is the hottest Nation anywhere in the world" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.

History in motion. 🇺🇸🇨🇳

$11 million stolen through fraudulent UI claims. Now the verdict is in — and @VP’s @WHFraudTF is turning the tables on every fraud ring that thought taxpayers were easy targets. Scam is over. Hunt is on. 🇺🇸 washingtontimes.com/news/2026/may/…
