There’s apparently a bromance brewing in the Capitol, and it involves JD Vance.The vice president appeared on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” and shared his thoughts on things such as the overt policing in Washington, D.C., as well as his experience being heckled in the city’s Union Station terminal. But the conversation took a turn when the host asked Vance who his “best friends” are in the cabinet. “I mean, I have a lot of good friends,” Vance said. “The weird thing is, you say it’s one person and then fundamentally that’s an insult to other people.”After beating around the bush, Vance named Secretary of State Marco Rubio as someone he’s “very close” to, adding that Rubio is a “great friend” of his. He continued to say that Rubio is doing a “great job” in his current position.Vice President JD Vance speaks during the American Compass Fifth Anniversary Gala at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., on June 3, 2025.SAUL LOEB via Getty ImagesVance didn’t stop there. He then named Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whom Vance also says is “doing a great job” in his role. Unlike Rubio, Vance and Hegseth’s friendship recently shared a pivotal experience: the two were among those who were booed and heckled during their walk through Union Station, where Vance thanked the National Guard for their service. “The D.C. swamp tried to destroy Pete Hegseth, unlike anybody in the administration,” Vance claimed regarding the former Fox News host. “Whenever I see the worst people in the world try to tear a guy down, that makes me think he’s on our side.”Close
