Vice President J.D. Vance, speaking on My View with Lara Trump, stopped short of confirming a 2028 presidential bid—but didn’t rule it out either. He emphasized the importance of focusing on the present, noting that if he performs well in 2025 and 2026, “the politics will figure itself out.”
Vance criticized politicians who launch their campaigns long before their current term ends, saying the public is tired of that. If he decides to run, he insists it won’t be handed to him on a platter—“there are a lot of great people”—and stressed that he’ll have to earn it.
Highlighting his loyalty, Vance praised President Trump’s “relentless work ethic” and trusted leadership style, calling Trump someone who never seems to rest and often delegates with confidence. Vance also acknowledged Democrat rivals, calling their records objectively poor—yet reaffirmed that his focus remains on fulfilling his vice-presidential duties first.
