Examples of VICE in a Sentence

1. President Biden:

   I probably spent more time with Xi Jinping, I'm told, than any world leader has because I had 24, 25hours of private meetings with him when I was vice president, traveled seventeen thousand miles with him. I know him pretty well.

2. Ginni Thomas:

   I was frustrated that I thought Vice President Pence might concede earlier than what President Trump was inclined to do, and I wanted to hear Vice President Pence talk more about the fraud and irregularities in certain states that I thought was still lingering.

3. Sander Levin:

   All the Democratic candidates would be superior to four more years of endless Trump lies and divisiveness and incivility. All would end Trump's relentless injection of venom against those who disagree with him and his endless elevation of his personal interest and ego above the interests of the nation, i have concluded that Vice President Joe Biden has the best chance of defeating Donald Trump -- and the best chance of winning Michigan's electoral votes.

4. Steve Schale:

   I'm a long time admirer of the Vice President, and frankly when it became clear that he was giving the race serious consideration, I just raised my hand, i made the choice a few years ago to mostly get out of politics as a vocation, other than as a volunteer for people and causes that I care about.

5. Scott Applewhite:

   Where we’re not getting cooperation … we have to take that action. We’ve spoken with over 300 people. Significantly the vice president’s former team has been quite cooperative and shedding light on what we need to know, i ’m interested in what led to January 6. What were the circumstances ? What did [ Trump ] know prior to January 6 ? Because what is most important, even more than accountability for that day, is that we do n’t have anything like that happen again.
