Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) made clear Sunday on ABC Newsโs This Week that he does not see Vice President JD Vance as someone he would support in a hypothetical 2028 presidential bid, underscoring deep philosophical differences over trade and the future direction of the GOP.
When asked whether he views Vance โ widely viewed within GOP circles as a leading contender to carry the Republican banner after President Donald Trump โ as the so-called heir apparent, Paul was direct about the limits of their alignment.
โI think there needs to be representatives in the Republican Party who still believe international trade is good, who still believe in free market capitalism, who still believe in low taxes,โ Paul said, emphasizing his long-standing libertarian philosophy.

Pressed on whether that description fits Vance, Paul answered, โNo.โ
Paul lamented what he sees as a shift in GOP economic thinking โ away from traditional free-market conservatism toward protectionist policies that embrace tariffs.
โIt used to separate conservatives and liberals that conservatives thought it was a spending problem โ we didnโt want less revenue, we wanted less spending,โ he said.
โBut now all these pro-tariff protectionists, they love taxes. And so they tax, tax, tax, and then they brag about all the revenue coming in. That has never been a conservative position.โ
Paul said he intends to continue championing a free-market, low-tax wing of the party and will let time โ and voters โ determine where GOP leadership settles.
Vanceโs position as a prominent Trump loyalist โ often touted by MAGA-aligned activists as the next leader of the movement โ stands in contrast to Paulโs more classical libertarian outlook. Trump and Vance have worked closely throughout the administration, and Trump himself has suggested both Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would make strong contenders in 2028, even as speculation swirls about Trumpโs own future political plans.
Paul and Vanceโs disagreements arenโt limited to trade. Earlier in 2025, Paul publicly criticized Vanceโs support for a controversial U.S. military strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug-smuggling vessel โ going so far as to call the actions Vance defended โdespicable and thoughtlessโ for celebrating lethal force without due process. This public spar highlights deeper philosophical divides between the libertarian wing of the party and its more interventionist or nationalist elements.
Those tensions reflect a broader conversation within the GOP about its core principles โ from foreign policy to economic strategy โ as the party prepares for post-Trump leadership.
Adding to the political backdrop, Erika Kirk โ the widow of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk and the organizationโs CEO โ officially endorsed Vice President Vance for president in 2028 during the groupโs annual AmericaFest conference in Phoenix.
Kirk, speaking to thousands of activists, pledged Turning Pointโs powerful grassroots support and framed Vance as a continuation of her husbandโs conservative legacy:
โWe are going to get my husbandโs friend JD Vance elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible.โ
Her endorsement โ and Turning Pointโs mobilization capacity on campuses and with younger conservatives โ could be a significant boost in the early stages of a national campaign, even though Vance has not yet announced a formal campaign bid
Vice President JD Vance had two choice words for racist troll Nick Fuentes and others like MS NOW host Jen Psaki, who haveย made comments about the second lady: โEat sโt.โ
โLet me be clear. Anyone who attacks my wife, whether their name is Jen Psaki or Nick Fuentes, can eat sโt,โ Vance told UnHerd in an interview published Sunday.
โThatโs my official policy as vice president of the United States.โ
He then told writerย Sohrab Ahmariย that โall forms of ethnic hatredโ including antisemitism have โno place in the conservative movement.โ
Vanceโs response comes after Fuentes bashed him for being a โrace traitorโ for marrying his wife;ย Usha Vanceย is an American citizen born in San Diego to two Hindu Indian immigrants. Fuentes has also used derogatory terms about Indians to describe The Second Lady.
Fuentes has made a number ofย racist and antisemitic commentsย over the years, and he told Piers Morgan earlier this month that he believedย Adolf Hitlerย was โreally f*cking cool.โย
The vice presidentโs comments were published a few hours after he told the crowd at Turning Point USAโs AmericaFest that Presidentย Donald Trumpย had wiselyย โrelegated DEI to the dustbin of history.โย
Vance said DEI is antithetical to American values and a meritocratic society โ which made it an easy target for the second Trump Administration.
โWe donโt treat anybody different because of their race or their sex,โ Vance told the Phoenix crowd.
Vance continued his message about unity:
In the United States of America, you donโt have to apologize for being white anymore.
And if youโre an Asian, you donโt have to talk around your skin color when youโre applying for college. Because we judge people based on who they are, not on ethnicity and things they canโt control.
We donโt persecute you for being male, for being straight, for being gay, for being anything. The only thing that we demand is that you be a great American patriot. And if youโre that. youโre very much on our team.
Watch:
Those comments were also well-received by the arena. His remark on white men comes a few days after a viral Compact article reported a number of professional fields had โgatekeepers [who] promised extra consideration to anyone who wasnโt a white man.โ
Vice President Vance touted a number of accomplishments he said the Trump Administration has had in less than a year, including closing down the southern border. He said the crowd must continue to support the โAmerica First Partyโ โ echoingย Donald Trump Jr., who earlier in the day said theย Republican Party was no longer a thing.
Trump Jr. said it is a new era for the conservative movement โ one that is constantly under attack from the Democratic Party and Republicans In Name Only (RINOs). He said those attacks are ramping up as both parties plow towards the 2026 midterm elections.
Here is what the told the AmFest crowd:
Midterms are coming around the corner and make no mistake, the Democrat Party wants to do whatever they possibly can to shut this movement down. Not just the Democrats. The RINOs.
You see the manufactured attacks onย JD [Vance], myself, my father โ anyone who understands that this isnโt the Republican Party anymore. Itโs the America First Party. Itโs the Make America Great Again Party. And we are not going back!
Watch:
PHOENIX โ Erika Kirk, the chief executive of Turning Point USA and the widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, formally endorsed Vice President JD Vance for president in 2028 on Thursday, offering an early show of support that drew sustained applause at the groupโs AmericaFest conference.
Kirkโs remarks, delivered before a packed ballroom of activists and donors, marked one of the earliest high-profile endorsements of the post-Trump era, signaling that influential conservative organizations are already looking ahead, years before that period formally begins.
Framing her endorsement as part of a broader political plan, Kirk said Turning Point USA is focused less on individual races and more on reshaping the electoral map.
โFor both 2026 and 2028, weโre investing in states and not just in races,โ Kirk said. โSo what I mean by that is we are building the red wall โ Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire. Thatโs going to be very important to us.โ
She stressed that the immediate goal remains protecting Republican majorities in Congress to support President Donald Trumpโs second-term agenda.
โWeโre going to ensure that President Trump has Congress for all four years,โ she said.
Kirkโs most forceful moment came when she turned directly to the next presidential cycle.
โWe are going to get my husbandโs friend, JD Vance, elected for โ28 in the most resounding way possible,โ she said, drawing cheers and a standing ovation from much of the crowd.
The endorsement is notable for its timing. With nearly three years to go before the next presidential election, few Republican leaders have been willing to publicly line up behind a successor.
Vance has not announced a presidential campaign and has repeatedly said his attention remains on his role as vice president.
In an interview last month with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Vance acknowledged he has thought about what comes next, but said he avoids dwelling on it.
โIโve thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections, sure,โ Vance said. โBut whenever I think about that, I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now.โ
He warned that premature ambition can be counterproductive.
โIf you start getting distracted and focus on what comes next, I think it actually makes you worse at the job that you have,โ Vance said.
For now, he said, the administrationโs political focus is straightforward.
โAnd then after that, Iโm going to sit down with the president of the United States and talk to him about it,โ Vance said.
Kirkโs endorsement comes as early maneuvering intensifies within the Republican Party. Vance is widely viewed as a top-tier contender, but he is far from alone.
Other Republicans frequently mentioned as possible 2028 candidates include:
At the same AmericaFest gathering, ideological tensions within the conservative movement were also on display. Media figures Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson took public shots at one another, reflecting broader disagreements over the direction of the right and Carlsonโs past platforming of far-right figures, like white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
Still, Kirkโs remarks underscore the influence of Turning Point USA and its ability to mobilize young activists, donors, and grassroots organizers nationwide.
With the 2026 midterms looming and 2028 already on the minds of key players, her endorsement serves as an early marker of where some of the conservative movement hopes to go next โ and a sign that JD Vance is already being positioned as a central figure in the GOPโs future.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Thursday that the Kennedy Centerโs board voted unanimously to rename the institution to the “Trump-Kennedy Center” in recognition of what she described as President Donald Trumpโs efforts to save the building over the past year.
โI have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable workย President Trumpย has done over the last year in saving the building,โ Leavitt wrote in a post on social platform X.ย
โNot only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur,โ she continued.
Roma Daravi, the vice president of public relations at the Kennedy Center, confirmed Leavittโs statement.
โThe Kennedy Center Board of Trustees voted unanimously today to name the institution The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts,โ Daravi said. โThe unanimous vote recognizes that the current Chairman saved the institution from financial ruin and physical destruction. The new Trump Kennedy Center reflects the unequivocal bipartisan support for Americaโs cultural center for generations to come.โ

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has claimed she would โstompโย JD Vanceย in a presidential election.
Ocasio-Cortez, the Left-wing congresswoman, made the claim hours after sharing a poll โ conducted by The Argument and Verasight and released Tuesday โ found Ocasio-Cortez leading Vance 51% to 49%, a difference within the surveyโs 2.7-percentage-point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. Respondents were asked how they would vote if the election were held between the New York Democrat and the Republican vice president.

When asked about the poll as she left the US Capitol on Wednesday evening, she initially downplayed its significance.
โThese polls like three years outโฆ they are what they are,โ she told a reporter, who filmed the encounter.
โBut let the record show I would stomp him โ I would stomp him!โ she added, laughing as she walked off and entered a waiting car.
Ocasio-Cortez, often known by her initials โAOCโ, is seen as one of the frontrunners in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.
The poll โ conducted by The Argument and Verasight and released Tuesday โ found Ocasio-Cortez leading Vance 51% to 49%, a difference within the surveyโs 2.7-percentage-point margin of error, making the two candidates statistically tied. Respondents were asked how they would vote if the election were held between the New York Democrat and the Republican vice president.
Neither Ocasio-Cortez nor Vance has formally announced a 2028 campaign, but both are widely viewed as potential contenders to lead their respective parties. Ocasio-Cortez, first elected to Congress in 2018, has become one of the most prominent progressive voices in national politics. Vance, a former U.S. senator from Ohio and bestselling author, joined the GOP ticket in 2024 and became vice president after Donald Trump returned to the White House.
The poll found that Vance maintains a substantial advantage with white voters, leading Ocasio-Cortez 57% to 43% in that demographic. Ocasio-Cortez, however, holds wide leads among voters of color, including 79% support among Black voters and 64% among Hispanic voters. (RELATED: Democrats Win Miami Mayorโs Office After Nearly 30 Years Out Of Power)
Those patterns reflect longstanding partisan alignments: Republicans have consistently performed strongly with white voters in recent presidential contests, while Democrats have relied heavily on support from Black and Hispanic voters, though margins among the latter group have narrowed in recent years.
Although Ocasio-Cortez polls competitively in a general election hypothetical, recent Democratic primary surveys show her trailing more established national figures, including former Vice President Kamala Harris and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. This suggests she would face a difficult path in a crowded primary field.
Another recent survey testing a three-way hypothetical between California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Vance, and Ocasio-Cortez found Newsom leading with 36%, with Ocasio-Cortez and Vance tied at 34% each.
On the Republican side, speculation around the 2028 field remains fluid. Asked in October which Republicans might consider a future presidential run, President Donald Trump told reporters, โWe have great peopleโฆ We have JD, obviously, the vice president is great. I think [Secretary of State] Marcoโs [Rubio] great. I think Iโm not sure if anybody would run against those. I think if they ever formed a group, it would be unstoppable. I really do. I believe that. I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever.โ
Trump, who returned to the presidency in 2025 after previously serving from 2017 to 2021, remains subject to the constitutional limits of the 22nd Amendment, which states that โno person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.โ The provision clearly bars any individual from winning a third term, but its application to Trumpโs unique electoral history has become a matter of legal dispute.
Constitutional scholars and legal analysts differ on how the amendment should be interpreted in Trumpโs case, particularly whether his two election victories โ in 2016 and 2024 โ preclude him from pursuing future campaigns. Several lawsuits filed in 2025 seek judicial rulings enforcing the 22nd Amendment against Trumpโs eligibility to appear on future ballots. Those cases are pending in federal courts and are expected to draw appeals, potentially reaching the Supreme Court. (RELATED: President Trumpโs Legal Battle With The Pulitzer Prize Board Escalates)
Vice President Vance has attempted to downplay discussions about his potential 2028 ambitions.
In an interview earlier this month with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Vance said, โI would say that Iโve thought about what that moment might look like after the midterm elections. But I also, whenever I think about that, I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now, and my job is to do it.โ
Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino announced Wednesday that he will step down from his post in January, marking the end of a remarkably impactfulโbut often controversialโtenure aimed at restoring trust, transparency, and operational strength within Americaโs chief federal law-enforcement agency.
Bongino, a longtime conservative commentator, former NYPD officer, and Secret Service agent, made the announcement on X, where he thanked those who entrusted him with the role.
โI want to thank President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose,โ Bongino wrote.
โMost importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you.โ
The announcement confirms growing speculation within conservative media circles that Bongino, who rose to national prominence during President Trumpโs first term, was preparing to return to broadcasting.
Earlier Wednesday, President Trump suggested as much, praising Bonginoโs service and signaling that a return to the airwaves was likely.
โDan did a great job. I think he wants to go back to his show,โ Trump said, highlighting Bonginoโs popularity among grassroots conservatives and his ability to communicate complex security issues in plain language. Trump did not specify a departure date.
During his relatively short time at the FBI, Bongino became a central figure in the bureauโs conservative-led reform movement. Supporters credit him with helping shift the agency toward greater transparency and away from the politicization many Republicans believe accelerated under previous administrations.
FBI Director Kash Patel praised Bonginoโs accomplishments in a statement on X:
โDan is the best partner I couldโve asked for in helping restore this FBI. He brought critical reforms to make the organization more efficient, led the successful Summer Heat op, served as the peopleโs voice for transparency, and delivered major breakthroughs in long unsolved cases like the pipe bomb investigation. And thatโs only a small part of the work he went about every single day delivering for America,โ Patel wrote.
โHe not only completed his mission โ he far exceeded it.โ
Supporters say Bonginoโs tenure represented a rare moment when top leadership acknowledged the concerns of everyday Americansโparticularly conservativesโwho felt the bureau had strayed from its mission of equal justice under the law.
Before joining the bureau, Bongino built a powerful following through his radio show, his podcast, and frequent appearances on Fox News. His direct, unapologetically pro-American brand of commentary made him one of the most recognizable voices on the right.
He previously served as a New York City police officer and spent over a decade as a Secret Service agent protecting presidents from both parties. His combined law-enforcement background and media influence helped him bridge grassroots concerns with federal-level reform efforts.
Today, Bongino commands 7 million followers on X, making him one of the most visible conservative voices in the country.
Despite his successes, Bonginoโs tenure wasnโt without friction. Reports surfaced that he had been considering leaving the job as early as July following a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files.
At the time, Bongino reportedly expressed concern that the bureau was not moving quickly enough to reveal key details to the public, echoing long-standing conservative criticisms of bureaucratic secrecy.
Talk of his possible departure resurfaced again in August when then-Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey joined the FBIโs leadership team as co-deputy director, a move interpreted by some insiders as preparation for a transition.
Though Bongino earned praise from colleagues for his efforts to reshape the FBI, many Republican voters know him best as a fighter in the media arenaโsomeone unafraid to challenge establishment narratives, hold government power to account, and speak bluntly about issues ranging from government surveillance to election integrity.
Before entering the bureau, he frequently used his platform to defend President Trump and to challenge the prevailing media narratives surrounding the 2020 election, the January 6th Capitol riot, and the suspicious circumstances surrounding Jeffrey Epsteinโs death.
His likely return to broadcastingโjust as the country enters a high-stakes election yearโpositions him once again as a major voice within the conservative movement.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith claimed in closed-door congressional testimony on Wednesday that investigators had proof โbeyond a reasonable doubtโ that Presidentย Donald Trumpย โcriminallyโ conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Smithย made the remarks in his opening statement to lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
โI made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trumpโs political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 election,โ Smith said in his opening statement, which was obtained in advance by the Associated Press. โWe took actions based on what the facts and the law required โ the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.
Smith added that his probe had โdeveloped powerful evidence that showed President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a bathroom and a ballroom where events and gatherings took place.โ
Smithโs investigation, which began in 2022, focused on Trumpโs alleged effort to overturn his 2020 election loss, as well as the classified documents that were stored at Mar-a-Lago.
Charges were filed in both investigations, but later droppedย due to the longstanding DOJ policy against the indictment of a sitting president.
President Trump has yet to comment on Smith’s bold accusation.
