JD Vance declines to endorse Netanyahu for reelection, says he’s focusing on midterms
Veteran Republican Senator JD Vance spoke in an interview on Monday evening and expressed his belief that President Trump would endorse him if he decides to run for president in 2028. Vance, who hasn't made up his mind about his potential presidential run, stated that he hasn't had any discussions with Trump about the possibility.
He added that while he thinks Trump would endorse him, he also believes it's crucial for candidates to independently engage with voters. Vance mentioned that Trump's endorsement has historically been influential in GOP primaries, citing the 2022 Ohio Senate race as an example where Trump's endorsement helped Vance overcome a third-place standing in the polls.
Vance emphasized that while Trump will ultimately decide the Republican nomination, it's the American voters who will ultimately choose the president.
