Vice President J.D. Vance slammed former Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell for voting against President Trump’s pick for a top Pentagon role.
McConnell was the sole Republican to oppose Elbridge Colby’s nomination for the Pentagon’s undersecretary of policy position, the third-highest position in the Defense Department.
Posting on the X platform, Vance denounced McConnell’s act of “political pettiness.”
“Mitch’s vote today—like so much of the last few years of his career—is one of the great acts of political pettiness I’ve ever seen,” Vance wrote.
In his statement justifying the vote, McConnell criticized Colby’s previous remarks advocating a shift in U.S. national security priorities toward the Indo-Pacific at the expense of other regions.
“The prioritization that Mr. Colby argues is fresh, new, and urgently needed is, in fact, a return to an Obama-era conception of a la carte geostrategy,” he wrote.
”Abandoning Ukraine and Europe and downplaying the Middle East to prioritize the Indo-Pacific is not a clever geopolitical chess move.”
