The Financial Times made a list of the most vulnerable figures in the White House after the failure of the Republican Party in the midterm elections. According to the paper, the candidate most likely to resign is Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who was the leading figure in the war with Iran. In turn, Vice President J. Dee Vance lost some of his popularity after endorsing a controversial ad for the Ohio gubernatorial candidate. Marco Rubio is considered a possible opponent of Vance for the nomination in 2028. Other officials include Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Treasury Secretary Scott Bassan, White House Chief of Staff Susan Wales and her deputy Stephen Miller, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr.
