US EditionJD Vance Leaves 2028 Bid Open While Trump Quietly Funnels Campaign Cash to Vance's PAC
Donald Trump directs 5% of joint fundraising proceeds to Vice President JD Vance's PAC, raising over $245,000 in two months to support Vance's political viability amid 2028 speculation.
- Monday, NBC News reported that a donation button on President Donald Trump's site directs 5% of each gift to Vice President JD Vance's PAC, Working for Ohio, sending over $245,000 since May.
- The deal was meant to keep Vance's operation funded, ensuring Working for Ohio has cash for staff and overhead while fundraising focuses on the Republican National Committee for next year.
- FEC records show Working for Ohio's cash on hand had dropped to about $16,000 and the PAC owed more than $100,000 at the end of 2024; Vice President JD Vance's committee spent about $16,000 through the first half of 2025 on compliance and debt payments.
- The arrangement gives Vice President JD Vance access to President Donald Trump's contributor list, allowing him to raise $245,000 via Trump's apparatus while Working for Ohio won't fund his 2026 midterm travel.
- Vance, first in line to the presidency, stands as a potential 2028 frontrunner; President Donald Trump acknowledged last month he views Vance as his `most likely` heir apparent and said Rubio is `somebody that would maybe get together with JD in some form`.
