Donald Trump has made a startling admission about JD Vance running for president in 2028, just hours after his vice president blamed the war with Iran for the Republicans’ crushing midterm defeat.
In the aftermath of the Republicans’ devastating midterm defeat, Vice President JD Vance shared a blistering assessment of his party’s failures, setting the stage for a potential 2028 presidential campaign while appearing to distance himself from Donald Trump.
“The reason we lost is the war,” Vance wrote in a lengthy X post, referring to the ongoing conflict with Iran.
Vance said polling revealed that Republicans voters who supported Trump in 2024 had switched sides, frustrated by the war, rising living costs, the administration’s America First priorities and Washington’s relationship with Israel.
“Everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there,” the vice president wrote.
“I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, ‘I told you so,’ you’re right, you did tell us so,” added Vance, who once called Trump “America’s Hitler.”
“I thought it was good’
While Vance confronted the political fallout from the Republican defeat, Trump appeared in a celebratory mood, watching the final beam rise into place at his unfinished White House ballroom, where reporters pressed him about his vice president’s assessment.
