Vance Weighs Not Running for President in 2028; No Decision Yet

In depth

US Vice President JD Vance, until recently considered the leading Republican candidate, is seriously considering not running in the 2028 presidential election. According to his associates, this aspiration is no longer a given for him.

The Republican Party's heavy losses in the midterm elections, the division within the MAGA camp and the war with Iran are raising question marks for him. His associates said that if the war with Iran does not end, no Republican candidate will have a chance in 2028.

Vance is struggling to decide whether he should lead the MAGA movement, and he is also torn in light of the challenges of fatherhood. The party is already considering other candidates, including Marco Rubio, and Vance has not yet decided how he will proceed.
