I’ve bought more and more stock in Vance eve since he was announced as VP pick. His interview on Rogan really swayed me initially. Good to see someone not in need of adult diapers leading the way

Withholding approval for a Vance candidacy in '28 seems to be Pres.Trump's way of saying, "You'll have to earn it, son!".

I am excited by Vance's intelligence, preparedness, relatability, drive and youth. America needs updated vision and execution. Trump is the momentum and Vance (along with other fresh energy individuals) the continuity forward. I am very encouraged.

Vice President Vance has so far shown he is a perfect match for President Trump. He is outspoken and willing to call BS when he hears it. As long as he does not turn into a typical VP, like Mike Pence and Kamala Harris, he'll earn Trump's endorsement.

I have been a major fan of Vance ever since seeing the movie of his life and then reading his book twice. It is amazing how he has overcome all the obstacles thrown at him as he was growing up, through persistence and personal toughness - a real-life version of the American Dream. But he is still young, and I agree with Laney B's post about earning his shot in '28.

JD Vance is proving by ACTIONS, his value to POTUS. Completely confirming his selection. Unless some things go Seriously awry, '28 may be a No-Brainer!

VP Vance early performance has been impressive but as VP, I’m sure he’s keenly aware to not be too impressive . Future presidential candidates within our party will look for stumbles and that includes President Trump. I don’t think President Trump will be a happy ‘lame duck’ President. I would expect him to be in charge up the last day in the White House, whether it’s in 4 years or 8 years. than

I like Vance. He is skillful in debate, quick to understand the issues and uses language that is superior to Trump's, although the way Trump expresses himself probably appeals to the working class more than them trying to figure out the meaning of the bigger words Vance often uses. Vance presents himself presidentially and will be a much stronger candidate, given his training under Trump, who probably harbors some suspicions of him, as he was a Senator, cum politition before becoming Trump's running mate.

So far, in my opinion, J D Vance was absolutely,100% the best choice. I hope President Trump changes his mind and endorses him for president. He’s young, fiery, and real.
