Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday night detailed how the America First movement is inspired by pursuing the national interest and empowering everyday Americans.
Vance and Rubio were the special guests for the evening celebrating the fifth anniversary of American Compass — a right-of-center think tank that challenges conventional conservative orthodoxies — and they each delivered remarks explaining how the leadership classes’ failure to deliver for Americans in recent decades motivates the Trump administration’s policy agenda. In a sit-down talk with American Compass founder Oren Cass, Rubio focused his speech on the connections between geopolitics and domestic economic strength. Vance, meanwhile, explained his view that American leaders violated the social contract with millions of Americans.
