The Washington Post reported that the results of the American midterm elections will deciderepublican party Can it shatter pessimistic forecasts, avoid a major defeat, and maintain the coalition Trump built two years ago? Vance could launch his 2028 presidential campaign in this environment.
Vance and people close to him insist he has not yet decided whether to run. But he has led 17 rallies since the Republican midterm convention in September, and even more in the months before, giving him a chance to shape his image on the national stage.
People close to Vance believe that even if he suffers a devastating defeat in the midterm elections, it will have limited impact on Vance’s chances of running for office in 2028, especially his chances of winning the Republican primary. But those who oppose him in both parties will likely interpret the Republican Party’s tragic defeat as a sign that voters want to bid farewell to the Trump-Vance administration.
An aide to Vance said anonymously: “If we do better than expected, the credit goes to Trump; and if we lose badly, no impartial person would blame Vance.”
Four people familiar with Vance told The Washington Post that the intense campaigning on stage recently has been a good experience for Vance, and has also helped him build relationships with Republican officials with whom he was not previously familiar.
Vance’s allies say that no matter the outcome of the midterm elections, the fact that he has raised huge amounts of money for the Republican National Committee over the past nearly two years as committee finance chairman is also a positive asset for him.
US President Trump has publicly praised Vance, but has repeatedly declined to endorse him, saying it would be “too early” to do so. Trump told donors privately earlier this year, “We’re going to send vans over there,” but he has yet to make any such comments publicly.
American media reported on October 19 that Vance said in an interview that if he runs for President of the United States in 2028, he believes Trump will support him. However, Vance also acknowledged that he had not yet discussed the matter with Trump. He also said that Trump may also choose to have a “full-scale competition” rather than having Republican presidential nominees determine supporters in advance.
