Vice President Vance Hints at 2028 Presidential Run

Vice President J.D. Vance recently suggested that he might consider a run for the presidency in 2028, although he seemed hesitant about the idea.

During an appearance on the program “My View” with Lara Trump, Vance mentioned that if he performs well in his current duties as vice president, the political landscape would take care of itself. Yet, he expressed a reluctance to dwell on a potential candidacy. He emphasized his focus remains on his present role.

“If we do a good job in 2025 and 2026, then we can talk about the politics in 2027,” Vance stated. “I really think the American people are so fed up with folks who are already running for the next job, seven months into the current one.”

He acknowledged the possibility of a presidential bid but stressed that he wouldn’t just claim it without effort if he chose to run. “There are a lot of great people,” he remarked. “If I do end up running, it’s not going to be given to me—either on the Republican side or on the national side. I’m just going to keep on working hard. This may be the most important job I ever had, outside of being a father to those three beautiful kids. So I’m going to try to do my best job, and I think if I do that, the politics will figure itself out.”

Vance also spoke about the 2028 Democratic contenders, suggesting that many have quite poor track records.

Instead of focusing on his own potential campaign, Vance took the opportunity to commend President Donald Trump’s leadership and work ethic. “Sometimes, the president will call you at 12:30 or 2 a.m., and then call you at 6 a.m. about a totally different topic,” Vance quipped. “It’s like, ‘Mr. President, did you go to sleep last night?’ What’s made this so much fun is the president, all the time, just saying, ‘JD, you go and do this,’ or ‘JD, you go and talk to these leaders about this particular issue.’ That ability to delegate and trust his people has been really amazing.”
