Donald Trump stunned Washington by picking J.D. Vance as his running mate.
The surprises didn’t stop there.
And J.D. Vance could wind up as President after this shocking development.
JD Vance is considered among Republican voters as being the top contender for 2028.
His popularity within his own party has never been higher and his odds are certainly helped by the likelihood Democrats will nominate someone who is ultimately unelectable.
In fact, the same poll that showed Vance as the top contender for Republicans showed Kamala Harris as the top contender among Democrats.
According to The Hill, “Vice President JD Vance and former Vice President Kamala Harris are seen as top contenders for the White House in 2028 by their respective parties, according to the latest Economist/YouGov poll.”
“The poll, released Wednesday, asks Democrats and Republicans whom they would consider supporting in the 2028 presidential election and asks which person would be their ‘ideal candidate.’”
“Respondents were told to select from a list of 10 possible contenders affiliated with their respective party. That list was generated from a separate poll that included significantly more options from which to pick.”
“Among Republicans, 69 percent say they would consider voting for Vance, while 42 percent say they would consider voting for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; 39 percent say they’d consider voting for the president’s son, Donald Trump, Jr.; 34 percent say the same for Secretary of State Marco Rubio; 33 percent say so about Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas). No more than one-quarter of Republican respondents say the same for any other name on the list.”
The fact Vance is the only one who even gets over 50 percent consideration, let alone support, is a great sign for him.
DeSantis appears to be his stiffest competition and conservatives would surely be happy with either one as the nominee.
Democrats ought to be concerned they’ll end up blowing it again in 2028 if they nominate Kamala Harris.
