Vance weighs whether to run for president in 2028
US Vice President J.D. Vance is weighing a run for president in 2028, but has not made a final decision.
He is considering whether to pursue the White House or wait for a later election, with people close to him saying he has time.
The Republicans’ heavy midterm defeat has added uncertainty about the party’s direction and Vance’s political future.
Divisions have also emerged in the MAGA movement, the coalition supporting President Donald Trump, and Vance is seen as a possible figure to help rebuild it.
Other Republicans are preparing for a possible race, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Senator Ted Cruz and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.
CNN reported that Vance’s choice will depend in part on how the war develops and whether Republicans can rebuild their voter support.
