US Vice President J.D. Vance criticized for excessive social‑media activity

The White House was reported to have said Vice President J.D. Vance spends too much time on social‑media platforms during meetings and often argues with critics, a claim attributed to The New York Times and alleged insider sources. The administration denied the allegation; White House communications director Steven Cheung wrote on X that the report was false and the White House had not been quoted.

The comments surfaced amid ongoing speculation about Vance’s relationship with President Donald Trump and his potential candidacy in the 2028 Republican presidential primary. Recent polls show Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio neck‑and‑neck in hypothetical primary match‑ups, and Rubio has hinted at a possible campaign with a promotional video.

Both articles, originally published in Czech outlets, refer to the same set of allegations and the broader political context surrounding Vance’s future ambitions.
