Vance may withdraw from presidential race

JD Vance may decide not to run in the 2028 US presidential election.

According to TodayPress TV, citing CNN, the US vice president is considering the possibility of sitting out the 2028 presidential race following the Republicans’ heavy defeat in the midterm elections.

According to the publication, Vance’s allies say the increasingly unpopular war with Iran and divisions within the MAGA coalition have raised serious doubts about his electoral prospects.

Vance has openly blamed the Iran war for the Republicans’ defeat. His stance is reportedly believed to have angered Donald Trump. Meanwhile, potential Republican rivals have already begun preparing for the 2028 presidential election.

One person close to Vance said he was still young enough to continue his political career in the future, adding: “It may simply not be his time.”
