JD Vance is a shoe in for the GOP nomination in 2028, according to Harry Enten, the respected number cruncher for CNN, one of the few sane voices on the network who isn’t constantly TDS screeching.
“Why don’t we take a look here?” Enten stated, adding “Look, this is early polling, but look, for the GOP nomination, it’s JD Vance at 40 percent.
“There’s no one even close to him. [Republican Florida Gov] Ron DeSantis back at single digits at eight. Donald Trump Jr. back at 7%,” Enten further noted.
JD Vance's odds to be the 2028 GOP nominee are looking, to quote Larry David, "Pretty, pretty good".
