Where's JD? How does he get so much time off? [View all]
The Hill - Opinion by Lindsey Granger
Vice President JD Vance has been in office since January, and already hes racked up more vacation days than most Americans could dream of in a decade. The man who built his brand railing against elites has basically become one living like the very people he claimed to stand against.
His latest trip? A summer holiday in the Cotswolds, the region of England nicknamed the Hamptons of the UK. Vance rented a sprawling manor that goes for about $10,000 a week. Between his motorcades clogging tiny country roads and the protests that followed him across the pond, its safe to say his family getaway got more press than privacy.
But this isnt an isolated incident. This is vacation No.8 this year.

Then theres Disneyland, which he shut down for his family. Then theres a $2,500 Michelin-starred dinner in San Diego. And who could forget his birthday kayak trip, when the military literally raised the level of an Ohio river just to smooth out his paddling conditions. Thats not just elite thats emperor-level.
The bigger question is: how does he have so much time off?
(I ask WHY he has so much time off?)
