U.S. Vice President JD Vance said he has not decided whether to seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, acknowledging during a CBS News town hall in Michigan that “of course there’s a chance” he will not run.
Vance said he tends to procrastinate over major life decisions and would have to consider the effect of a campaign on his wife, Usha Vance, and their four young children. He said his wife has never loved politics but does value public service. President Donald Trump has described Vance as his “most likely” Republican successor.
During the town hall, Vance also defended the administration’s economic and foreign policies. He blamed former President Joe Biden’s administration for neglecting manufacturing while acknowledging that reversing the sector’s decline would take time.
Addressing the conflict with Iran and higher fuel costs, Vance said gas prices were too high and predicted they would fall after the conflict ends. He argued that the United States had “in some ways” won decisively but said Washington still wanted a firm commitment that Iran would not rebuild its nuclear program.
Vance also rejected allegations of presidential corruption, saying he had seen no evidence that Trump participated in or sanctioned corruption.
