United States (US) Vice President JD Vance is considering abandoning the 2028 presidential race due to declining political prospects and broader geopolitical tensions.
Reports suggest well-wishers of the 41-year-old have advised him to drop out of the race to avoid a backlash from Americans amid rising disapproval ratings of President Trump.
Insiders reveal that the Republican Party leader would be better off if he didn’t “own everything that’s been going on for the last few years.”
Allies reportedly believe he is still young and has a viable career ahead of him, and that he would be better off sitting out the 2028 presidential race and trying a second time when political conditions become more feasible.
However, a source close to the US VP said the window to become US commander-in-chief is very slim for any politician, adding: “If you don’t go when that window is open, it will most likely never open again.”
They added that maintaining political relevance until 2032 or 2036 will be an uphill task.
Speaking to Daily Mail speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said: “Age-wise, he would be young enough. But momentum-wise, there would be a shinier crown on the street.”
Vance has not publicly confirmed whether he intends to run for president in 2028.
