What happens to all of this if Trump returns to the White House? Vance said he’d studied why the former president couldn’t bring Democrats on board with an infrastructure bill, a longtime Trump priority that Biden ended up delivering instead. The compromise could come through currently existing insurance: “If you're required to provide contraception, you should be required to provide healthcare to the people who decide to have the kid.” That didn’t mean the “back-door single-payer” that progressives might want. “We have to figure out a way to - for political reasons - convince people that we're pro-life not just until the moment the baby's born, and - for moral reasons - actually have to make it easier to have children and raise families in this country,” Vance said.

The left wants universal healthcare he wants free healthcare for mothers and babies. “As much as I wanted to accelerate that, you can’t do it that quickly.”īut Vance’s long-term project is building a more populist right, led in the short term by Trump, and using the state’s power in ways that sometimes overlap with the progressive movement. “It’s a little bit like MPG standards in cars,” Brown said. Brown pushed back against a Lever News story that linked the American Chemistry Council’s support for the bill to its lobbying to push back the timeline for requiring safer tank cars. Negative coverage of what Vance is trying to do, from the left, wasn’t impacting it either. “When people go through the weekly, monthly work we’ve got to do here, we learn to work together,” said Sen. Senators who’ve worked with Vance told Semafor that his pro-Trump nominee blockade wasn’t an impediment to working with him. The presidential campaign so far - its race to the right, its all-absorbing debates about Trump - hasn’t impacted any of this. “We actually want to make change,” Warren told Politico earlier this month, explaining the collaboration with Vance. Mark Kelly on speeding up manufacturing starts in rural areas and with Warren, again, on clawing back executive compensation when banks fail. Elizabeth Warren on getting guardsmen and reservists earlier access to healthcare with Arizona Sen. Amy Kobuchar on preventing catalytic converter theft with Massachusetts Sen. But Vance has also joined forces with Minnesota Sen. The railway safety bill has gotten most of the attention it’s got the best and earliest chance of passage. His collaboration with Brown began even after he’d taken a prominent role bashing President Biden’s response to the rail disaster and complaining that the administration was “talking about how we have too many white-male construction workers” instead of fixing it.
That job requires him to speak MAGA in the conservative media world, where Vance has been an eager attack dog. “His most important job, in my opinion, is to deliver 15 or so Republicans here.” We have very few differences on it, almost none,” said Brown, Vance’s co-sponsor on rail safety.
Vance’s 2022 Senate campaign was so alienating to progressives, and so helped by Donald Trump’s intervention, that Democrats were caught off guard by his eagerness to co-sponsor legislation. “We’ve managed to accomplish some things - or, at the least, begin the process of accomplishing some things - while simultaneously making voters that sent me here happy,” said Vance.
Sherrod Brown after the February derailment in East Palestine, reaches the Senate floor. The first real test of the theory could come within weeks, when a railway safety bill, developed with Ohio Sen. In an interview with SemaforVance said he was working to harmonize “the very justified MAGA impulse that conservatives never fight” with the “middle of the road impulse that this town isn't doing anything.” Six months into his Senate career, Vance has surprised Democrats with his eagerness to co-sponsor legislation and sell it to his conservative base. Hours later, Vance announced that he’d slow down nearly all Department of Justice confirmations to protest the prosecution of Donald Trump, who he said was “merely the latest victim” of an administration “that cares more about politics than law enforcement.” Tammy Baldwin that would require tech developed by taxpayer dollars to be built in America. Vance rolled out the latest of his bipartisan bills - a team-up with Wisconsin Sen.
