SUMMARY

Vice President JD Vance has seriously considered skipping a 2028 presidential run after Republicans’ crushing midterm losses, according to people close to him. He has yet to decide.

Allies say the war with Iran may be his biggest obstacle. “If they don’t end the war in Iran, no Republican has a shot at 2028,” one said.

“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance wrote the morning after the election, a post that irritated Trump.

On Thursday, Trump told Vance to stand down from leading Iran negotiations and focus on corruption instead. The president has not committed to endorsing him.
