Republican U.S. Sen.-elect JD Vance speaks during an election night party Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, in Columbus, Ohio.
“ actually do have leverage, we just have to be willing to actually use it. I think Speaker Johnson is a good guy, but if he brings up a foreign aid package sending billions of dollars to Ukraine without doing anything on the southern border, it will be a disgrace and a massive betrayal, not just to Republican voters but of the entire country,” Mr. Vance said on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.
