Vice President JD Vance recently appeared on My View with Lara Trump and discussed the possibility of a 2028 White House run. Although he stopped short of confirming a bid, Vance did not dismiss the idea. He emphasized that if he performs well in his current role, the politics will naturally follow.
Vance’s story of overcoming family struggles and economic challenges has inspired many across the country. Despite this, he admitted that he prefers not to dwell on a presidential run. His focus remains firmly on serving the nation in the here and now.
“If we do a good job in 2025 and 2026, then we can discuss the politics in 2027,” Vance said. He believes that Americans grow tired of politicians who start campaigning for their next job too early. He said voters want leaders who commit fully to their current responsibilities.
The vice president also recognized the fierce competition for a potential 2028 White House run. “Many capable candidates will compete,” Vance said. “If I run, I won’t receive the nomination automatically. I will have to work hard, just like everyone else.” He called his current role possibly the most important job he has ever held, besides being a father. That responsibility pushes him to give his best every day.
When the conversation turned to possible Democratic opponents, Vance did not hold back. He criticized many candidates for their “very bad records.” Instead, he focused on praising President Donald Trump’s dedication and leadership style.
Vance painted a vivid picture of Trump’s relentless work ethic. He explained how the president often calls late at night or early in the morning to discuss urgent matters. “It’s like, ‘Mr. President, did you sleep at all?’” Vance joked. He highlighted Trump’s ability to delegate and trust his team, which makes working with him rewarding.
In summary, while JD Vance did not confirm a 2028 White House run, he left the door open for the future. His current priority lies in serving effectively as vice president. He believes that if he does well now, the political path will become clear later.
