Some of Vance's Allies Urge Him to Sit Out 2028 After Historic Republican Midterm Losses
Some allies want Vance to skip 2028 as donors consider Ron DeSantis and other alternatives after Republicans’ midterm losses, the Journal reported.
- US Vice President JD Vance is debating a 2028 presidential bid following sweeping Republican losses in Tuesday's midterm elections, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday. Vance remains undecided as donors question his prospects.
- Republicans lost seven Senate seats and key governorships, prompting major donors to explore alternatives like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. Donors reportedly fear Vance's ties to the Trump administration could become a liability.
- Vance publicly blamed the Iran war for the party's defeat and urged a policy shift regarding Israel, a move allies say aims to keep him a viable candidate. This distancing is a calculated political strategy.
- Potential rivals, including Senator Ted Cruz and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, are eyeing the race. The Rockbridge Network—a donor group Vance co-founded—met in Texas over the weekend to analyze the midterm results.
- Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz warned that a candidate "not in touch with the populist movement" will struggle to win over Trump's coalition in 2028. This potential rift could scramble the primary field.
