Vance Predicts Tough Midterms

“Vice President JD Vance acknowledged Thursday that Republicans face an ‘uphill climb’ in next month’s midterm elections — and that the results may be a data point he reviews as he decides whether to run for president in 2028,” NBC News reports.

Said Vance: “Historically there’s always a bit of an uphill climb, and I think you definitely sense that. I also think you can sense a sense of cautious optimism, in the sense that, you know, people feel like the numbers are sort of moving, maybe in our direction.”

He added: “Politically, there’s just a recognition that it’s always going to be hard to win a midterm when you have the White House, the Senate and the House.”
