WASHINGTON D.C. – The Republican National
Committee (RNC) proudly announced today that the Vice President of the United
States, JD Vance, will serve as the next RNC Finance Chairman. This will be the
first time in the history of the Republican National Committee that a sitting
Vice President has served in that role.
“JD will do a fantastic job as RNC Finance Chair,” said President Donald J.
Trump. “He knows how to fight and win tough races. I’m glad he’ll be
working with Michael Whatley to help us secure our elections, get out the vote,
and win big next year!”
“Last year, President Trump won an historic election victory, taking back the
White House and helping Republicans regain control of the Senate and retain
control of the House,” said Vice President Vance. “But to fully
enact the MAGA mandate and President Trump’s vision that voters demanded, we
must keep and grow our Republican majorities in 2026. I am excited to work with
Chairman Whatley and the RNC leadership to build the war chest we need to deliver
those victories next November.”
“Vice President Vance is the definition of an American success story, rising
from a childhood where his family faced great struggles to become one of the
youngest vice presidents in our nation’s history,” said RNC Chairman Michael
Whatley . “Vice President Vance is not only one of our Party’s most
talented messengers, he is also a thought leader who has helped remake the GOP
into the party of working Americans representing the forgotten men and women of
our country. I am continuously thankful to President Trump for the leadership
and direction he provides the Party and am honored to work with Vice President
Vance to grow our party and ensure President Trump has the votes in Congress to
Make America Great Again.”
Vice President Vance succeeds outgoing National Finance Chair Ambassador
Richard “Duke” Buchan III, who President Trump recently nominated to serve as
the United States Ambassador to Morocco.
“I would like to thank Duke for his tremendous service to the Republican Party
and support for President Trump,” said Chairman Whatley. “His efforts
were an essential contribution to our success in 2024.”
