JD Vance: Midterms Now, MAGA Messiah for 2028’s Soap Opera

KEY POINTS

  • JD Vance plans to discuss 2028 run with Trump post-2026 midterms.
  • Vance is a leading Republican candidate for the 2028 presidential election.
  • Polls show Vance competes closely with Gavin Newsom in hypothetical matchup.
  • Vance emphasizes focus on winning 2026 midterms before future plans.

JD Vance just gave the political equivalent of a Netflix teaser: he’ll chat with Donald Trump right after the 2026 midterms about possibly diving headfirst into the 2028 presidential dumpster fire. Vance, everyone's favorite MAGA golden boy, calls the current months a 'long-term economic revitalization' spree—think planting trees whose fruits might show after your grandkids vote. Fox’s Sean Hannity popped the question on 'Hannity,' and Vance tried to stay Zen, insisting his focus is 'not getting distracted'—mostly because multitasking apparently makes MAGA messes even messier. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom snickers somewhere in California, holding his slight polling edge like a participation trophy.
