US vice-president, J.D. Vance, has reacted after President Donald Trump refused to outrightly endorse him as his successor.
Trump speaking with Fox News host, Bret Baier, said he wasn’t yet ready to endorse Vance for a 2028 presidential run of his own.
But he added “No, but he’s very capable.”
When asked in an interview with the Daily Mail about Trump’s remarks, Vance laughed it off.
“I think he said exactly what he should have said, which is: “It’s too early”,’ he replied.
Vance said that his only current focus is “the American people’s business” and not politics.
He added: “There will be a time to focus on politics, of course — [like] the midterms [in November 2026] — so let’s do a good job and then worry about the midterms.
“And then we’ll worry about presidential politics at the appropriate time.”
