Vance courts disgruntled Trump voters with new alliance ahead of 2028 run

Vice President JD Vance is reportedly building a new political alliance targeting disgruntled Trump supporters ahead of the 2028 presidential election, following major Republican losses in the November 3 midterms, according to a Fox News Digital report. Vance has begun shaping his own political message, including distinct views on foreign policy and Israel, after a White House meeting on Wednesday to coordinate post-midterm messaging. He posted a four-point strategy on X, including ending the Iran war, prioritizing domestic economic issues, adhering to "America First" principles, and altering Washington's posture toward Israel, stating "The reason we lost is the war." The post-election fallout has triggered evaluations of Cabinet and military leadership, with President Trump weighing whether to retain Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, though Trump publicly rebuffed removal rumors. Admiral Brad Cooper and General Dan Caine may face scrutiny, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has emerged as a possible replacement candidate.
