JD Vance Discusses Potential Presidential Run
Vance crevealed he hasn't decided if he wants to run for president in 2028.
During the interview, the Veep revealed he hasn't decided if he wants to run for president in 2028, and that he believes Donald Trump would endorse him if he did.
"I think I would get his endorsement," he explained. "But I also think there's something to be said for people actually running their own race, and because the president's endorsement is so dispositive, you could absolutely see a scenario where the president says, ‘You know what? We need to let this race play out,’ and not like preemptively prejudge the results."
"But my attitude is, if I run, I think the president would endorse me," Vance added. "But I also haven't talked to him about it yet."

Alyssa Farah Griffin predicted Trump will make Vance 'beg' for his endorsement.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin then jumped in to say that Vance "is kidding himself if he thinks Trump's going to endorse him early on and outright."
"I'm very acquainted with former Trump VPs, and there's no chance that’s happening," she added. "Donald Trump is going to drag out endorsing anyone as long as humanly possible just for the pure bloodsport of it, to purely make them grovel, beg, and plead if he ever endorses anyone anyway."

Griffin went on to point out Vance's unpopularity, arguing that it speaks to his "authenticity problem."
“Is he the Hillbilly Elegy guy?" she asked. "Is he the die-hard never-Trump guy who said he could be America's next Hitler before walking that back? Is he the diehard MAGA guy now, or the one who’s toying with conspiracy theories and trying to play to the farthest right base?"
