Trump Questions Vance's 2028 Bid After Republican Midterm Losses

President Donald Trump expressed uncertainty Thursday about Vice President JD Vance running in the 2028 presidential election, following Democratic gains in the midterm elections that dealt Republicans a significant setback. Vance publicly blamed Trump's war with Iran for the losses, citing voter dissatisfaction with the conflict, rising energy prices, and a shift from the "America First" agenda. Trump acknowledged the war's role but defended military action as necessary, while calling Vance's social media post "good." Vance is reportedly building a "new right" alliance with disaffected Trump voters, outlining distinct foreign policy views ahead of 2028. Democrats won Senate seats in Texas, Kansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Ohio, plus several gubernatorial races.
