It changes from "how can we run US foreign policy to enrich the extended Trump family?" to "what can Vance do to manage to get elected in 2029?", which would probably mean less corruption, and more tacking towards the centre. Not that corruption and evil would stop altogether, of course, but they'd have to look like they cared about democracy.
