VP Pool Report # 1 - JBA Departure

Good evening,

I will be your print pooler for Vice President JD Vance’s trip to Budapest, Hungary.

M2 touched down at 1932. The Vice President deplaned from M2 at 1936 with his wife, Usha Vance. Vance waved to the press before coming over to give brief remarks.

Vance said he was looking forward to seeing his “good friend Victor [Orban].”

“We'll talk about any number of things related to the US Hungary relationship. Obviously, I'm sure Europe and Ukraine and all the all the other stuff will figure in pretty prominently.”

He did not take any questions. Otter link here:

Vance boarded AF2 at 1937. Wheels are rolling at 1943.

Consider this your wheels up.
