Vice President JD Vance recently addressed the idea of a 2028 White House campaign during an appearance on “My View with Lara Trump” but stopped short of fully endorsing that route.
He mentioned that overcoming family struggles and economic difficulties has shown the resilience of the American people. While he expressed a desire to focus on his current responsibilities, he said he doesn’t like to dwell on the prospect of a presidential run.
“If you do a good job in 2025 and 2026, you can discuss politics in 2027,” Vance remarked. “I think people are worn out by those who start plotting their next move just months into their current position.”
He emphasized that if he were to run, he would need to earn it. “There are so many great individuals out there,” he noted. “If I go for this, it’s not going to be handed to me, whether on the Republican side or at the state level. I’m committed to working hard. Apart from being a father to my three wonderful kids, this might be the most significant job I’ve ever had. I’ll strive to excel, and if I do, I believe the political landscape will sort itself out.”
When asked about potential Democratic contenders for 2028, he pointed out that many have “evidently a very bad record.”
Vance spent a considerable amount of time discussing his experiences with President Donald Trump, praising his relentless work ethic and dependable leadership style. He described Trump as someone without an “off switch.”
“Sometimes the president will call you at 12:30 a.m. or 2 a.m., and then again at 6 a.m. about something entirely different,” Vance shared. “I often wonder, ‘Did the president get any sleep?’ The enjoyable part is always being directed by him. He’ll say, ‘JD, you’re going to handle this,’ and then ask you to talk to certain leaders about specific issues. His talent for delegating and trusting others is truly remarkable.”
