JD Vance Drops 2028 Bombshell In CBS Townhall

The 2026 midterms aren’t even over yet, and Vice President JD Vance has already dropped a bomb into the 2028 presidential election cycle: he might not run.

Vance told the audience at a Michigan town hall that he had not yet made a decision about whether or not he would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2028 — and said it was certainly a possibility that he would sit the election out.

Host Tony Dokoupil started the ball rolling by jumping on a comment Vance had made earlier in the evening — namely that he might be “out of a job” in a couple of years.

“The structure of the sentence suggests that you’d be running for a continued job,” he said.

“Not necessarily,” Vance laughed.

“No?” Dokoupil asked. “So there’s a chance — okay, let’s go right there: Is there a chance that you don’t run for president in 2028?”

“Of course there’s a chance!” Vance’s reaction was immediate. “Yeah, man, we’ve got four little kids, my wife has never loved politics. She loves public service. I think you know you can do a lot of good in this job, and I’ve tried to do as much good as possible.”

“I really — people ask me this question all the time. I think they assume that because I’m a politician, ‘Of course he’s going to run for president in 2028,'” he continued adding that, as a rule, he tended to procrastinate on major life decisions and only make up his mind at the last minute.

“My wife will tell you this: I’m a procrastinator. I hate ‘thinking about it,'” he added. “And what will happen is that first of all, after all of these fine people elect Mike Rogers United States Senator for the state of Michigan, what’s going to happen is, they don’t have to think about it. And I actually will have to make a decision.”

Throwing up his hands, Vance shook his head and concluded, “But you know, anything could happen, man.”

President Donald Trump has refrained from naming a chosen successor, making it clear that he has confidence in a number of members of his own cabinet should any of them decide to run for the 2028 nomination. He has said specifically that he thought Vance would do a great job, and has also voiced support for Secretary of State Marco Rubio
