Voters are increasingly saying they are fed up with the Trump administration. Vice President JD Vance wants them to know he gets it.

In recent weeks, the vice president has attempted to campaign as a voice of patience and even empathy as the White House grapples with a series of brutal polls and the possibility of losing control of the House and Senate.

Vance on the stump often concedes that many Trump voters are frustrated by the pace of progress and admits that sometimes he is, too. It is followed by a call for patience, a plea for one more chance and a warning that Democrats would be far worse.

His tone is noticeably different from President Donald Trump, who regularly touts the country as “the hottest” anywhere in the world, gives himself an A+ “on everything” and says he has had the most successful two years of any president.
