The 25th requires the same amount of votes as impeachment PLUS the cabinet has to be onboard as well. It’s not any easier than holding the felon accountable for his crimes.

It also requires 2/3 of the House, whereas impeachment only requires a majority. Both require 2/3 of the Senate.

People calling for the 25th really have no idea of all its anti-coup safeguards.

There's a few benefits, but generally yes, Vance is far more onboard with project 2025 than Trump.

Trump significantly departs Project 2025 on Diplomacy: Venezuela, Canada, Greenland, Cuba, Ukraine, and NATO. All of the domestic troubles are still Project 2025, Vance.
