Cruz said Vance is insecure and vowed to focus on helping Republicans win the next 30 days, while prediction markets give Vance about a 50% nomination chance.
- On Saturday, Sen. Ted Cruz called Vice President JD Vance "insecure" during a phone interview with Politico, responding to Vance's assertion that the Texas senator is already plotting a 2028 presidential campaign.

- This public clash highlights increasing tension among Republican contenders fighting for visibility in a post-Trump landscape, though the presidential contest remains more than two years away from 2028.
