CNN is framing the comments as a potentially significant moment for Vance, who remains closely associated with Trump but now faces questions about his own political future after the Republican defeat. The 2028 Republican nomination race is also becoming less predictable, with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich describing it as "wide open" and Trump himself refusing to adopt a successor. substack | talk.
