Vance to serve as RNC’s finance chair in sign of his growing influence

NEW YORK (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has been tapped to serve as a top fundraiser at the Republican National Committee in another sign that he is cementing his status as the torchbearer of President Donald Trump ‘s “Make America Great Again” movement.

It is the first time in the RNC’s history that a sitting vice president has held the position of finance chair, giving Vance a prominent, direct role in next year’s midterm elections and helping him build ties with top Republican donors. Vance headlined numerous fundraisers during the 2024 campaign, making the job an extension of those efforts.
