JD Vance Delicately Plots 2028 Run

Vance aims to secure Elon Musk's financial backing and social media influence for the 2028 GOP nomination amid delicate political dynamics following Charlie Kirk's death.

  • Vice President JD Vance has quietly positioned himself for 2028, helping repair the Trump–Musk rift by backchanneling concessions and calls to Elon Musk's allies, sources said.
  • Elon Musk re-engaged with Republican politics after Charlie Kirk's death, and Musk's prior threats to fund the America Party made his return powerful but risky for GOP unity.
  • Polling paints a mixed picture, with a CNN poll showing Vance at 22% Republican support while a Turning Point USA straw poll recorded 84% backing.
  • Vance's relationship with Musk appears solid, but sources said the truce remains fragile as critics question billionaire ties and Steve Bannon opposes him while President Donald Trump withholds endorsement.
  • Turning Point USA will mobilize across Iowa's 99 counties in the coming months, while betting markets favored Vance Monday and potential presidential candidates assess over the next year.
