Vance says Watergate would be a '12-hour news story' today

Vice President JD Vance says the Watergate scandal that brought down President Richard Nixon would have been a blip in today’s news cycle. He also drew parallels between Nixon and President Donald Trump, arguing that both were targeted by “deep state” forces. Vance described his admiration for Nixon during a conversation Thursday at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, California. Widely expected to be a presidential contender in 2028, Vance spoke at the library while promoting his new book, “Communion.” Vance says the legacy of the 37th president is “enjoying a bit of a renaissance.”
