JD Vance is currently likely to be the frontrunner within the Republican Party who is expected to succeed Donald Trump in 2028, but the president has made it clear that he is not ready to hand over power. Yesterday, in the Oval Office, Vance stood behind him. Trump refused to endorse his vice president for the next presidential election, saying only that he was a “very talented person,” but at the same time insisted that it was too early to make a decision now. “We have to get through the midterm elections first. We'll see how it goes,” Trump said. Looking at it so far, the data shows that Vance is leading. According to the RealClearPolling average poll, he is leading the way among potential Republican candidates with an approval rating of about 39%. Far more than Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The bet market is also optimistic about this vice president. But his overall popularity is a different story, and may even pose a challenge: RealClearPolling's data shows that about half of Americans view him negatively.
