Examples of Vice in a Sentence

1. President Trump:

   The Bidens got rich -- and that is substantiated -- while America got robbed, sleepy Joe and his friends sold out America. ... And in a brand new report, just came out as Im walking on the stage, it turns out that when Joe Biden was vice president -- he worked with the so-called whistleblower. This is nothing more than a partisan witch hunt, sabotage, and Im sure theyre going to say, totally unsubstantiated.

2. Nate Bachman:

   I'm of the camp that Kasich is running for vice president -- and he doesn't care if it's Trump or Cruz or Sanders or Hillary.

3. Seth Moulton:

   I think it's evident that this is now a three-way race between (former Vice President Joe) Biden, (U.S. Senator Elizabeth) Warren and (U.S. Senator Bernie) Sanders, and really it's a debate about how far left the party should go.

4. Channing Tatum:

   When people say you guys have such a perfect life, I want to scream and tell them no one’s perfect, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan admitted. I think there are such things as great fits. It is a great fit as long as you are growing together, and I think up until this point we’ve really grown together. Even if one starts to grow, the other catches up and vice versa. But I think a couple needs to be conscious and to want to do the work and be willing to look at the parts of you that need work. Both of us have been pretty aware and willing to do that.

5. Greg Abbott:

   The Biden-Harris administration continues ignoring and denying the historic crisis at our southern border, which has endangered and overwhelmed Texas communities for almost two years, our supposed border czar, Vice President Kamala Harris, has yet to even visit the border to see firsthand the impact of the open-border policies she has helped implement, even going so far as to claim the border is ‘secure.’.
