· World · NBC News
Vice President JD Vance acknowledged on Thursday that Republicans face an uphill climb in the upcoming midterm elections. Speaking aboard Air Force Two after campaigning in Lakeland, Florida, Vance noted that winning midterms is historically difficult for the party holding the White House, Senate, and House. He stated that the election results will serve as a data point he reviews when deciding whether to run for president in 2028. Recent polls show President Donald Trump and the war in Iran are highly unpopular among voters, alongside a rise in gas prices and affordability concerns. Vance, 42, emphasized that his immediate focus remains on his vice-presidential duties and supporting party candidates ahead of the November 3 vote.
