US Vice President JD Vance stated that he is ready to become head of state, but only on the condition that something happens to current American leader Donald Trump, USA Today reports.
“Yes, terrible tragedies happen. But I feel very confident the President of the United States (Trump - ed.) is in good shape, is going to serve out the remainder of his term and do great things for the American people,” Vance said.
At the same time, the US Vice President expressed confidence that he has well prepared himself to perform presidential duties.
“I’ve gotten a lot of good on-the-job training over the last 200 days,” Vance noted.
