In a recent interview on My View with Lara Trump, Vice President JD Vance hinted at the possibility of running for president in 2028 but stressed his current dedication to his role. Vance, known for his rise from a challenging childhood to public prominence, told Trump, “If I do my job well, the politics will take care of itself.” He emphasized that his primary focus is on fulfilling his duties as Vice President rather than entertaining future political ambitions.
Vance expressed that the American people are tired of politicians who start campaigning for their next position while still in office. “The American people are tired of leaders who are already campaigning for their next position even while they’re still in office,” he said. Vance made it clear that while he was open to the idea of a presidential bid, his focus remains on serving in his current role to the best of his abilities.
When asked about a potential 2028 campaign, Vance acknowledged the competition and challenges he would face, stating, “There are many great candidates. If I decide to run, it won’t be handed to me. I will have to work hard for it.” He emphasized that being Vice President is one of the most important roles in his life, second only to his role as a father to his three children.
Vance also discussed the Democratic candidates he might face in 2028, suggesting that their track records could present obstacles in their potential runs. He pointed out that many Democratic leaders face challenges that could negatively impact their chances in the upcoming election.
Additionally, Vance praised President Donald Trump’s work ethic and leadership style. He noted that the President’s commitment to his duties is unmatched, often communicating late into the night and early morning. “The President doesn’t have an off switch,” Vance said, admiring Trump’s dedication and his ability to delegate tasks effectively. Vance shared that this leadership style has been one of the key aspects of their successful working relationship.
While Vance did not make a definitive statement about his future political plans, it’s clear that he is deeply committed to his current responsibilities as Vice President. For now, Vance appears to be focused on doing his job well and leaving the door open for future political possibilities, should the time come.
