Trump Avoids Endorsement for Vance's 2028 Bid in Oval Office
During a press event in the Oval Office announcing a $25 million federal Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, President Donald Trump faced a question about endorsing Vice President JD Vance for the 2028 Republican presidential ticket. Trump described Vance as “talented” and a “good” person but stated they had not discussed the endorsement, emphasizing the need to focus on the midterms.
Vance, who is seen as an early frontrunner for the Republican nomination, expressed his expectation of receiving Trump’s endorsement but acknowledged that candidates should run their own races. This moment was awkward as Vance had recently indicated he expected Trump’s endorsement “right away.” Trump has previously refrained from calling Vance his successor.
Vance has also been noncommittal about his ambitions, citing family considerations and his procrastination regarding the decision to run.
