Trump said it’s ‘too early’ to make a call on whether his vice president should appear on the 2028 Republican ticket. President Donald Trump says that he doesn’t necessarily see Vice President JD Vance as his automatic successor in the 2028 presidential election. “Do you view Vice President JD Vance as your successor, the Republican nominee in 2028?” Baier asked. “No, but he's very capable,” Trump responded. “I mean, I don't think that it, you know, I think you have a lot of very capable people. So far, I think he's doing a fantastic job. It’s too early, we're just starting.”.
Vance wouldn’t be the first vice president in recent history to vie for the presidency. Joe Biden, Al Gore, George H.W. Bush and Walter F. Mondale all won their party’s presidential primary races after serving as vice president, with Biden and Bush both securing the presidency afterward. Meanwhile, Vance is on his first foreign trip as vice president, attending an AI summit in Paris and the Munich Security Conference.
This means Vance and Waltz are hammering out an arrangement while examining the tech, diplomatic and national security issues behind such a deal. They are also in charge of figuring out who will own TikTok or if the U.S. ban on the Chinese-owned app should go into effect in April. This comes after Congress passed a bill last year to remove TikTok from U.S. app stores, citing national security concerns, unless its Chinese owners sold it to a U.S. company. The deadline for the law to take effect was January 19, a day before Trump’s inauguration.
