CNN reports people close to Vice President Vance say he is seriously considering
not running for president in 2028 after last week’s disastrous midterm results.
He has not decided. Interviews with about a dozen allies and advisers show he is
weighing his political ambitions against a splintering MAGA coalition and family
responsibilities. Sources say he remains committed to rebuilding the 2024
movement but is uncertain whether he should lead it. At 42 he could return later
if conditions change. Vance was widely seen as an early 2028 frontrunner; he has
set no timetable, a White House bid remains an option, and some allies still
view his candidacy as more likely than not.
