Trump Does Not Say Whether He Would Endorse Vance for 2028 After Vance Says He Expects Support
Photo: Fox NewsPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday declined to say whether he would endorse Vice President JD Vance for president in 2028, a day after Vance said he believed Trump would back him if he ran. Asked about it alongside Vance, Trump called him a very talented and very good person. He also said he did not think the two had ever talked about the subject. Vance, for his part, acknowledged he had not actually discussed a possible run with the president, and he raised a scenario in which Trump might hold off on fully backing him. Vance made the remarks in a CBS News town hall moderated by Tony Dokoupil, where he also discussed ICE, the economy, corruption and the midterms.

Left-leaning HuffPost focuses on Vance's explanation of why Trump might not endorse him right away.
