US media: After a crushing midterm defeat, Vance is seriously considering abandoning the 2028 US presidential race

November 13, according to CNN, people close to U.S. Vice President Vance have revealed that after last week's disastrous midterm elections, Vance has seriously considered not running for president in 2028. Although Vance has not yet made a final decision, interviews with about a dozen allies and advisers reveal that the vice president is struggling with his own political ambitions, the fracturing of the MAGA coalition, and his responsibilities as a father. They described Vance as firmly committed to rebuilding the movement that won in 2024, but uncertain whether he should be the one to lead it. "I wouldn't be surprised by whatever decision he makes," one of them said.

"He is only 42 years old. He is young, and if the current political environment makes success impossible, he is fully capable of making a comeback. It's just that now may not be his moment." Vance was once widely regarded as the frontrunner for the 2028 presidential nomination, but he has not set a timeline for this decision, and the option of entering the White House remains clearly on the table. Some allies insist that it is more likely than not that he will run.
