Amidst the swirling speculation regarding the 2028 presidential race within Republican circles, Vice President JD Vance consistently stands out as the leading candidate. As reported by GOP insiders in the New York Post, Vance’s influential position as the finance chair of the Republican National Committee positions him as a formidable contender to follow President Donald Trump, with some even designating him as the clear frontrunner.
One source indicated, “If he amplifies the RNC’s fundraising efforts and the party improves its performance in 2026, he will solidify his status as the next GOP leader—provided he maintains favorable relations with you know who.”
Republican strategist Dennis Lennox went even further, asserting, “The notion that Vance will not be the Republican nominee in 2028 is ludicrous.” He also remarked to The Post, “Conducting all the primaries, caucuses, and the convention in Houston would squander valuable time and resources that could be better utilized in defeating the Democratic nominee. The RNC might as well cancel the 2028 primaries and caucuses at this stage.”
