JD Vance talks about his plans for 2028 and how Trump factors in

Vice President JD Vance sat down with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday, and one of the topics discussed centered on the 2028 presidential election, with the Veep saying that when the time is right, a discussion will take place with President Donald J. Trump.

“Two days after the midterms, we get into a cycle, meaning 2028. Have you thought at all -– I mean, I would think it has to go through your head. You’re in the Oval Office every day,” Hannity said. “Thinking about it at all?”

“I would say that I’ve thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections, sure,” Vance replied. “But I also, whenever I think about that, I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now and my job is to do it. And if you start getting distracted and focused on what comes next, I think it actually makes you worse at the job you have.”

The vice president was clear that the current focus is on the midterm elections.

“Here’s what will happen. I mean, look, we are very focused on the midterm elections, I think, because what the president has set in motion is a long-term economic revitalization effort for this country,” Vance said. “I really want us to win the midterms because, if the Democrats get in power, they’re gonna try to screw up a lot of the great things the president of the United States has done over the past ten months.”

“Again, trees that have been planted, some of which won’t even bear fruit for a few years. I don’t want the Democrats to screw that up,” he continued. “So we’re going to win the midterms, we’re going to do everything that we can to win the midterms, and then after that, I’m going to sit down with the president of the United States and talk to him about it.”

Vance concluded, “But let’s focus on the now because we’ve got well over a year to do as much as we can for the American people and my attitude, Sean, is -– look, if we do a good job, the politics will take care of itself. If we do a terrible job, the politics will take care of itself in the other direction. So I’m just gonna focus on the job that I have.”

Trump speculated about a dream 2028 ticket last month that included Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“We have great people. Well, I don’t have to get into that, but we have one of them standing right here. We have JD [Vance] obviously. The vice president is great,” said Trump. “Marco is great. I’m not sure if anybody would run against us. I think if they have a form to group it would be unstoppable, I do. I really believe that.”
