Trump’s onetime MAGA queen, Marjorie Taylor Greene, 52, told the Times that Vance’s shifting stance on the war in Iran—which has driven up oil prices across the United States and left Americans struggling with affordability pressures—could prove politically damaging if he seeks to rebuild trust with anti-interventionist Republicans as a potential 2028 presidential contender.

“He is no longer in a place where he can hang on to his former reputation,” Greene, who previously recommended Vance as a good vice presidential pick for Trump, told the outlet. “There’s nothing that can protect him anymore.”
