My fellow Americans – this is JD Vance. 

Today, I’m coming to you with all my cards on the table, not as “The Vice President.”

I’m coming to you simply as JD, the small-town Ohio hillbilly who loves God, cherishes his family, and somewhere along the way ended up being tasked with a critical mission at one of the most critical moments in American history.

With our majority hanging by a thread, I have a favor to ask, because I believe you're someone who understands what's happening to this country as clearly as I do. 

I didn't become Vice President because I wanted the title or a seat at the head of the table. I’m standing here today because I looked at what was coming for this country and I made a decision: I was willing to put absolutely everything on the line to stand in its way.

Every time I stand behind the resolute desk, or walk into a critical cabinet meeting to make a decision surrounded by the most dedicated and fearless men and women in our country, I feel the very weight of our country’s survival in my hands and the responsibility of what it represents — a thin, fragile line between the America we love and the America the radical left is determined to build in its place.

And when I sit alone with my thoughts and my prayers at night the question I ask myself constantly is “what more can I do?” 

That’s when I decided I needed to write this message...

At the end of my life, I want to stand before God Almighty and be able to say with a clear conscience that I gave everything I had to protect the soul of this country.

This isn't about Republicans versus Democrats anymore. I need you to understand that what we are facing is something deeper and more dangerous than a partisan election fight.

We are watching the deliberate, systematic infiltration of American institutions by people who genuinely despise this country's history, who mock our values, who want to dismantle Western civilization itself and replace it with something unrecognizable.

A legion of radical socialist candidates is being recruited, funded, and deployed to take over Congress. And their movement is gaining horrifying momentum as we speak.

Remember, we’re coming off of the most expensive election years we’ve ever faced, where a BILLION DOLLARS in leftist money flooded into Kamala Harris’ war chest.

And now, Democrat war chests across America are filling up in the same way in preparation for midterms – fueled by megadonors, Big Tech billionaires, George Soros, and hordes of angry Democrats that hate Trump and Republicans with a seething passion. 

If we lose the House this November, there is nothing left to protect us from what these deranged leftists and their socialist agenda will do. The America you and I grew up in — the one we are fighting to hand to our children — will not survive what comes next.

I'll be completely and uncomfortably honest with you: I cannot fight this fight alone.

I know what you've already given as a supporter of our movement. I know the money, the time, the prayers, the faith you have poured into this fight. Believe me, I know it takes every ounce of strength to keep going sometimes!

I know you didn't sign up for it to be this hard or this long or this expensive.

I know that every time another message lands in your inbox asking for something, there is a part of you that wonders if it will ever be enough.

But I also know that you have been the patriot that has shown up when it wasn't easy, gave when it wasn't convenient, and remained steadfast in faith when belief was the hardest thing to hold onto.

You have earned my trust. And I'm asking you to trust me one more time.

I'm teaming up with Congressman Brandon Gill — the youngest House Republican in America, a fighter who takes on the radical left every single day in the hearing rooms and on the House floor with a ferocity I deeply admire — and together we are assembling 10,000 of the most dedicated MAGA patriots in the GOP's top donor files to build the firewall this majority needs to survive November.

I’m asking you humbly, from one American who loves this country to another, will you step up today? 

And here’s the kicker: When you step up today, you’ll be officially added to our 2026 Platinum Majority Club!

Please, don’t sit this one out. I know you understand what’s at stake. 

For God and for the America we refuse to give up on,

JD Vance

50th Vice President
