President Donald Trump said Wednesday he was unsure whether Vice President JD Vance would seek the presidency in 2028, after Democrats flipped the House and Senate in the midterm elections.
Trump told reporters he had spoken with Vance after the elections and said they discussed many matters. He said it was unclear who would run, adding that Vance might not enter the race. The remarks followed a lengthy social media post in which Vance discussed Republicans’ election losses and distanced himself from the Iran war, according to the Washington Examiner and Mediaite. Trump said he knew Vance’s views on the war and defended the conflict, saying it had prevented Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
