Vance reveals the Trump dilemma that could complicate his 2028 White House ambitions
Vice-President JD Vance said he expects President Donald Trump would endorse him if he ran for president in 2028, but he does not know whether that support would come immediately. Vance said he has not discussed the matter with Trump and stressed that his priority is the midterm elections, while noting he is not certain he will run.
Vance argued that Trump’s endorsement carries exceptional weight because it can signal to voters that a candidate is independent of Republican Party elites, though voters ultimately decide the nomination. His remarks follow Trump describing Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a “dream team” without saying who would lead a possible 2028 ticket; Vance said Trump might let the primary race develop before endorsing anyone.
- Vance expects Trump’s backing if he runs in 2028.
- He is unsure whether an endorsement would come immediately.
- Trump has also praised Marco Rubio as part of a “dream team”.
