JD Vance hits back at ‘flimsy’ report he may drop 2028 bid
JD Vance reveals ‘one condition’ he agreed to do press briefing on behalf of Karoline Leavitt
Vice President JD Vance’s potential 2028 presidential bid is under scrutiny following the resignation of national intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard.
Gabbard’s departure, officially due to her husband’s bone cancer, is widely reported as stemming from her being sidelined over foreign policy differences.
Vance’s non-interventionist “America First” foreign policy stance, particularly on the war with Iran, has reportedly distanced him from the administration’s inner circle.
This has led to increased influence for Secretary of State Marco Rubio, a more hawkish Republican advocating for a stronger military role and threatening conflict with Cuba.
Despite claims of isolation, Vance’s team denies reports that his 2028 presidential ambitions are waning, though some sources suggest a narrow window for a viable bid.
