JD Vance, the Vice President of the USA, announced that he will discuss a possible candidacy for the 2028 presidential elections with former President Donald Trump, but emphasized that his current priorities are the midterm elections in 2026. In an appearance on Fox News' Hannity show, Vance acknowledged that he has thought about a future candidacy but insisted that he is dedicated to his current responsibilities.
He warned that a Democratic victory could affect the economic progress made under Trump. Although speculation for 2028 is increasing, Vance downplayed rivalries, stating that it is not the right time to discuss competition, mentioning Marco Rubio as a close friend. Vance emphasized that Trump will influence the future of the Republican Party, which could redefine the electoral race.
