Vance weighs skipping 2028 run after post blaming Iran war for GOP losses angers Trump - report
Allies say the vice president is wrestling with the fracturing of the MAGA coalition, the demands of fatherhood, and whether any Republican can win while the Iran war drags on.
Vice President JD Vance is considering skipping the 2028 presidential race following the Democrats' heavy losses in the recent midterm elections, according to CNN's report. His allies and advisers believe that the war with Iran could be the biggest obstacle to his candidacy, with some arguing that no Republican can win while the conflict continues.
Vance blamed the war for the Republican defeat in a 617-word post on X, urging a reevaluation of America's relationship with Israel. Despite his doubts, some still consider a Vance run highly likely, as his supporters remain optimistic about his chances.
