He's found his new scapegoat to demonize.  If it comes to AOC and him, I wouldn't vote for either unless AOC moderates her views on Israel which is unlikely.

A lot can happen in two years, but I think we've seen the last of Vance as a candidate.  He tied himself pretty closely to Ramaswamy after that campaign-killing ad.  Trump is going to turn on him too.   

I'm hoping for Schapiro v. Rubio of course (or something like that).  But I fear what I'll get is AOC v. Trump Jr.  One aspect of the system that really disappoints is that the fringes have outsized influence in the primaries.  It is not that the system is broken, it is because the casual/moderate voters don't vote the primaries, so it is our own fault.
