“I think his loyalty is without question and his service to Trump has been profound,” Carlson added. “So I’m assuming that was just like a phrase that you feel you have to use.”
Podcast host Vince Coglianese echoed the sentiment, floating the idea that Trump’s silence was a tactical move to shield Vance from early attacks or distractions. Carlson agreed, pointing out that keeping the spotlight on the current administration was wise.
“That’s exactly right and there’s a lot that will happen between now and then… there’s no one else [to carry on Trump’s legacy],” he said.
With the 2028 race years away, speculation is already swirling. Some reports had floated Donald Trump Jr. as a potential contender, but he fired back hard at those rumors.
“I accurately predicted that my buddy JD would be an instant power player in national GOP politics… Are you fking retarded? I’m actually glad you’re printing this bullst though because at least now the rest of the press corps will see how shi**y your ‘sources’ are and how easily you’re played by them. Congrats, moron.”
Political analyst Mark Halperin also weighed in, saying Vance’s media presence and willingness to engage with all sides of the press puts him in a unique position compared to other would-be contenders.
“Unlike [former Vice President] Kamala Harris, I don’t think there’s a show in America JD Vance would turn down… That’s a huge advantage for him,” Halperin explained.
He noted that Vance’s openness to media contrasts sharply with other potential 2028 candidates—on both sides of the aisle—who often avoid tough interviews.
Meanwhile, Vance has been vocally backing Trump’s economic agenda, recently delivering a scathing critique of globalist trade policies while touting the benefits of tariffs at the American Dynamism Summit.

“President Trump is starting with and is dead serious about rearranging our trade and tariff regime internationally. It must happen,” Vance declared. “We believe that tariffs are a necessary tool to protect our jobs and our industries from other countries, as well as the labor value of our workers in a globalized market.”
“In fact, combined with the right technology, they allow us to bring jobs back to the United States of America and create the jobs of the future.”
Vance’s alignment with Trump’s vision and unapologetic America First policies is already setting the stage for what could be a seamless handoff. For conservatives looking for continuity beyond 2024, JD Vance is quickly becoming the name to watch.
And if Carlson is right, the next GOP nominee may already be standing at Trump’s side.
