Vice President JD Vance recently opened up about his emotional side during the 2024 presidential campaign trail, revealing how he often lost his temper when dealing with criticism. Speaking on My View with Lara Trump on Fox News, Vance admitted that while his wife, Usha, remained calm and balanced, he was the one who would get “fired up” whenever he saw negative or false stories about himself or Donald Trump.
Vance recalled, “On the campaign trail, when I would read something that would make me angry, I’d think, ‘I can’t believe they said this about the president, it’s totally fake. I can’t believe they said this about me.’ Usha was always the one to keep things steady she never gets too high or too low.”
The Ohio senator turned vice president was officially chosen as Trump’s running mate just three months before the November 2024 election.
When asked whether he plans to run for president in 2028, Vance gave a cautious answer, saying he prefers to focus on his current role rather than speculate about the future. “I don’t like thinking about it because I like thinking about the job I have right now. If we do a good job in 2025 and 2026, then we can talk about politics in 2027.”
He added that nothing would be “handed” to him in the Republican Party and emphasized that his priority is doing his best in office and being a father to his three children.
However, just two weeks earlier, in an interview on USA Today’s Meet the Press (August 27), Vance struck a more confident tone. When asked if he was ready to step into the presidency should the need arise, he replied, “I’ve gotten a lot of good on-the-job training over the last 200 days.”
He also addressed Donald Trump’s health, reassuring Americans that despite being the oldest president ever inaugurated, Trump remains “incredibly energetic” and fully engaged. Vance pointed out, “He’s the last person making phone calls at night, and the first one making phone calls in the morning.”
With this mix of humility about his own political future and confidence in Trump’s stamina, Vance is carefully balancing loyalty to the president with the reality that questions about 2028 will only grow louder in the years ahead.
