JD Vance says his next big political move will be a family decision made after November. In a CBS Sunday Morning interview, the vice president said he and his wife, Usha, plan to sit down after the midterms to weigh a 2028 presidential bid, adding that he avoids making major decisions "until I absolutely must." Vance, 41, said he expects President Trump to be "very supportive" of whatever he chooses, noting that the president often raises Vance's political future even when Vance doesn't.

A source previously told the Washington Post that the expected arrival of the couple's fourth child this summer is one reason Vance hasn't committed. The former Ohio senator and Hillbilly Elegy author is seen as the most prominent potential 2028 contender inside the Trump administration, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The two have made joint appearances in the White House briefing room as Trump both encourages their rivalry and floats the idea they could share a ticket, per the Post.
