Republicans worry JD Vance may become Trump's 'fall guy' for Iran [View all]
(MS NOW) Vice President JD Vance has roughly seven weeks to pass one of the defining tests of his political career.
With President Donald Trump making him the public face of negotiations over a long-term Iran agreement, the outcome could strengthen Vance’s credentials ahead of a likely presidential campaign — or it could saddle him with the blame of a bad deal.
