Vice President JD Vance was appearing on Fox News’ program “The Story with Martha McCallum” when he was asked whether he had plans for the 2028 election.
The host asked whether he would run for president, since Donald Trump would not be able to serve a third term due to the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prevents a person from being elected more than twice.
“Would I run?” JD Vance said after letting out a chilling laugh, which some users on X, formerly Twitter, described as cartoonish.
“One of the things I don’t like about this question, and about this whole perspective, is that I’ve only been in this office for a year. About a year and a half ago, I asked the American people to give me the office I now hold,” he continued.
“Why don’t I do the best possible job in this office and leave the next office for us to worry about at some point in the future?” JD Vance said, trying to avoid the question.
“That’s the forced laugh that first-year theater students practice before auditions,” another internet user accused.
Some said the vice president failed to hide his intentions. “He’s as real as a $13 bill.”
Alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, JD Vance is one of the favorites to run for president in 2028.
