Vance may put his presidential ambitions on hold — CNN

Detailed summary

According to the TV channel, the ongoing war with Iran remains a major obstacle to Vance’s presidential ambitions

NEW YORK, November 13. /TASS/. US Vice President JD Vance is considering not running for president in the 2028 election following the Republican loss in the midterm elections, CNN quoted people close to the high-profile official as saying.

"I wouldn’t be surprised by any decision he makes. He’s only 42. He’s young enough that he can have a comeback should this environment make success impossible. It just may not be his time," one of the people said.

The ongoing war with Iran remains a major obstacle to Vance’s presidential ambitions, according to the TV channel. His allies fear that the unpopular conflict may damage the GOP’s chances of winning the presidential race. "The question isn’t if JD can do it. It’s: If the Iran war is still happening, can any Republican do it?" one of the politician’s allies explained.

Vance himself remains undecided, and has not set any timeline for making the decision, CNN said. Some of his supporters still believe it is more likely than not that he will run. In a post after the midterms, the vice president blamed the Republican losses on the Iran war, which angered US President Donald Trump, the television channel reported.
