Vice President JD Vance stopped short of confirming a 2028 presidential run but said if he does run, “the politics will figure itself out.” Speaking on “My View” with Lara Trump, Vance emphasized his focus on his current role rather than future ambitions. “If we do a good job in 2025 and 2026, then we can talk about the politics in 2027,” he said, adding that Americans are tired of politicians already campaigning for their next job.

Vance acknowledged the competition ahead, saying a potential run wouldn’t be handed to him. “There are a lot of great people. If I do end up running, it’s not going to be given to me—either on the Republican side or on the national side,” he stated. He called his current job possibly the most important he’s had outside of being a father and promised to focus on doing it well.

On Democratic potential candidates, Vance criticized their records but primarily praised President Donald Trump’s leadership style. He shared anecdotes about Trump’s relentless work ethic and trust in delegation, saying, “Sometimes, the president will call you at 12:30 or 2 a.m., and then call you at 6 a.m. about a totally different topic.”

Recently, Vance said Trump is in “incredibly good health” but expressed readiness to assume leadership if needed. He described his experience over the past 200 days as valuable “on-the-job training” should he need to step in as commander-in-chief.

The White House also addressed concerns over Trump’s health, clarifying that mild leg swelling and bruising were due to common, non-serious conditions.
