private life[edit]

Is it not planned to make a section about his private life? --91.65.120.195 (talk) 19:03, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody should add a section about Van's talk prior to the election about the possibility sending disputed electors back to state legislatures per the US Constitution. As Van noted, if you set aside debates between Dems and Repubs, there remain intellectually interesting issues behind the desire of Congress to clarify the Electoral Count Act of 1887. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.27.38 (talk) 15:55, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He has an ex-wife (Jana Carter) and kids. The Torch of Takoma (talk) 22:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism[edit]

The section added under criticism about his attendance at the Rally for Israel lacks credible sources. There is no source for the number of killed Palestinians and the whole section is opinion-based. 2600:1700:37B0:453F:717C:6B5B:A58C:4C1B (talk) 23:42, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
