Vice President JD Vance said Republicans must focus on making life affordable for Americans after GOP losses in Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races.

To understand this week’s results as nothing more than “a couple of elections in blue states” is to miss the importance of what actually happened.

J.D. Vance hinted that he’s eyeing a run for president in 2028. On Thursday, November 14, the vice president sat down with Sean Hannity on Fox News, where the host asked whether he’s already thinking about the future.

Fox News host Sean Hannity asked Vance directly in an interview released Thursday over whether he has thought about a potential run for president in 2028. Vance has remained the clear frontrunner among Republicans in early polling — while Trump has recently hinted about the prospect.

Vice President JD Vance said, "New Jersey is such a great state, but it’s suffered too long under crap leadership," urging voters to back Jack Ciattarelli.

Cory Bowman, the half-brother of Vice President JD Vance, lost his bid for Cincinnati mayor on Nov. 4, even after securing Vance's endorsement.

Though the candidates and local issues all played a role in the results, voter attitudes about Trump and his agenda were central to their choices.
