Rep. Mike Carey, among Ohio Republicans vying for JD Vance's Senate seat, said he's best equipped to implement President-elect Trump's agenda on "day one."

President-elect Trump on Monday announced a trio of appointments to lead different White House offices, including his pick to serve as his top liaison to Capitol Hill. Trump, in a news release, said James Braid would serve as director of the Office of Legislative Affairs.

JD Vance's election as vice president has opened up one of Ohio's U.S. Senate seats for the third time in as many years.

The vice president-elect was dealt an early setback in the effort to speed Trump nominees through the Senate.

After rarely being seen in public in the two weeks since he delivered a brief, 46-second victory speech on election night, JD Vance reemerged this week to play one of the most important roles he will be expected to fill as Donald Trump’s No.

JD Vance is expected to accompany other nominees for meetings over the coming weeks as he tries to leverage the two years he has spent in the Senate to help push through Trump’s picks.

Whoever Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine picks to replace JD Vance in the Senate will face a battery of Trump loyalty tests on backing embattled Cabinet picks like Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth and more.

Vice President-elect JD Vance has been tasked with his first big role as Donald Trump ’s second-in-command: Helping to confirm Trump’s controversial cabinet picks.

A source told Fox News Digital VP-elect JD Vance will schedule meetings with key GOP senators and Trump Cabinet nominees Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth on Capitol Hill.

A Secret Service spokesperson said no one protected by his agency was taken from the property for medical reasons or had any issues or concerns.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz joined Sen. Marco Rubio and Vice President-elect JD Vance on Capitol Hill to shore up support for his confirmation.

After weeks working behind closed doors, Vice President-elect JD Vance returned to Capitol Hill to lobby for Trump Cabinet and key staff picks.
