Vance confronts a new political reality: 2028 ‘may not be his time’

Vice President JD Vance has given serious consideration to not running for president in 2028 after last week’s calamitous midterm elections, people close to him tell CNN.

While Vance has yet to make up his mind, interviews with roughly a dozen allies and advisers reveal a vice president wrestling with his political ambitions, the fracturing of the MAGA coalition and the demands of fatherhood. They described him as deeply committed to rebuilding the movement that won in 2024 but uncertain over whether he should be the one to lead it.

CNN’s Alayna Treene reports and CNN’s Dana Bash and Wolf Blitzer lead panel discussions on Vance’s future.
