Vance seizes MAGA spotlight as Republicans begin looking beyond Trump
Amid falling approval ratings and midterm uncertainty, Republican party leaders are also looking at who might eventually carry Donald Trump’s movement forward.
Vice President JD Vance took the stage at the Republican convention in Dallas, serving as a showcase for his potential 2028 presidential ambitions. As Donald Trump is barred from running for a third term, party leaders are seeking a successor to carry forward his movement. Vance's speech emphasized nationalism and contrasted Republicans with Democrats as the party of common sense against "crazy" Democrats.
He encouraged supporters to vote Republican in the upcoming midterm elections. While Trump appeared on stage later, he offered only mild praise for Vance, calling him "very talented" and a "great vice president." Trump also vowed to be brief in his own remarks, but later reverted to his familiar speaking style, railing against the news media and political opponents, while pledging to the crowd that they would "go to hell" if they failed to vote in November.
