JD Vance was reportedly spotted this week schmoozing potential 2028 donors at a secretive meeting in Nashville.
The vice president is tipped alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio to take control of the Republican Party in a post-Donald Trump world. However, recent polling suggested that Vance may be looking over his shoulder at Rubio.
The native Floridian, 54, made huge gains on Vance, 41, in a survey of attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference last weekend. A majority of 53 percent of respondents preferred Vance as their Republican presidential nominee in 2028, down from 61 last year. Rubio was in second place with 35 percent of the vote, a huge leap from just 3 percent in the 2025 poll.
