JD Vance confident but uncertain Trump would endorse him in 2028

Vice President JD Vance claimed he isn’t focused on whether he will run for president in 2028 but was confident he will earn President Donald Trump’s endorsement if he launches a campaign. “I am focused on the midterm elections, and I want to get as many good Republicans elected in early November as possible,” Vance said “2WayTonight with Mark Halperin.” No Republican has announced a run for president in 2028, but Vance leads the prospective field with 39.1% support, according to the RealClearPolitics average of the latest polls. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is second with 23.8%, followed by Donald Trump Jr. at 11.1%.
