Contributing sentiments towards policy:
46% : In March 2021, he and Trump met for an hour in a meeting brokered by Vance's friend and former boss Peter Thiel, the Silicon Valley power broker and political libertarian who gave $10 million to a super PAC on Vance's behalf.39% : Oddly enough, "Hillbilly Elegy's" release coincided with Vance's political turn towards Trump.
35% : But Vance's turn away from Hollywood coincided not just with the movie's rejection by critics and audiences, but also his need to hew close to Trump to get elected.
28% : Vance understood that he needed to reverse his opposition to Trump.
26% : The Republican vice presidential candidate had once been an inveterate critic, speculating in a text to a former roommate that Trump might be "America's Hitler."
24% : "It's hardly innovative for a political figure to slam mainstream media; Trump has made a full time occupation of doing so, even while being notorious for personally leaking stories to reporters for decades.
13% : Trump is "the leader of this movement," Vance told the Time reporter in July 2021, "and if I actually care about these people and the things I say I care about, I need to just suck it up and support him."Asked whether the 2020 election had been stolen, he said in that interview only that it had been "unfair."By the time Vance began his Senate campaign that summer, the candidate had become more definitive, openly seeking the endorsement of Trump as he ran against Josh Mandel, the Ohio state treasurer who was also a pro-Trump hard-liner.
