Trump's close ally 'more isolated than ever' and considering abandoning 2028 run: report

Vice President JD Vance has been put in a tough position and has been considering whether he wants to run for president in 2028 or give up on the move, according to a new report from The Daily Mail published on Monday.With National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard announcing her exit from the Trump administration last week, Vance could be in a more vulnerable position as his "most senior non-interventionist ally is gone." Vance, like Gabbard, had expressed skepticism and concerns about the Iran war behind closed doors, according to insiders."JD Vance, now the lone dove in Donald Trump's cabinet after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation, has been left more isolated than ever and is even considering abandoning a run for the presidency in 2028," sources told The Mail."But the whispers racing through the West Wing find common ground: Iran," The Mail reported.Vance has not confirmed or denied whether he plans to run for president in 2028. And insiders have reported that he opposed the mlitary strikes in Iran, trying to privately urge Trump to limit attacks."Vance's isolation comes at a moment when Marco Rubio's stock inside the West Wing has never been higher, with the Secretary of State helping to plan an invasion of Cuba, while the Vice President flails in peace negotiations with Iran," according to The Mail."The Vice President's dovish brand of foreign policy has set him on a collision course with Trump, the sources say, the rift deepening as Trump embraces his wartime-leader image," The Mail reported.The president has often compared Vance to Secretary of State Marco Rubio — whom both have called personal and professional friends. He has even asked people who they would support to succeed him as commander-in-chief during private and public events."Rubio has more mojo than Vance. The President listens to him. Vance is out of step and has been for a long time," a White House insider told The Mail. "The source cautioned that Rubio's dominance may prove fleeting. By championing an unpopular war effort, the Secretary of State risks burning through political capital in real time and alienating both Trump's base and the wider American public," The Mail added.

This rural ranching community is as pro-Trump as ever — even as gas prices soar

Many political strategists have argued that while Republicans have an urban problem, Democrats have a rural problem. Donald Trump clearly outperformed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris in rural areas in 2024, and he had a major advantage in Grant County, Nebraska — a rural ranching community he carried by 95.9 percent. According to the UK-based i Paper, Grant remains the most pro-Trump county in the United States — even with the Iran war causing gas prices to soar"Gas prices may be on the rise in Grant County, Nebraska," reporter Daniel Bates explains in the i Paper, "but the people living there still love Donald Trump…. Grant County is miles from anywhere, and that's just how the people who live there like it. It is located in the Sandhills of Western Nebraska, sitting atop vast, ancient dunes blanketed by native prairie grasses. The remote community — home to coyotes, deer and the venomous prairie rattlesnake — is 270 miles (434km) from Denver, the nearest big city, which is in the next state over, Colorado."One of the Trump voters in Grant County who isn't swayed by the Iran war or gas prices is 78-year-old Ellen White, a retiree.White told the i Paper, "Trump is doing the most wonderful job any president has done since Ronald Reagan…. We will have to get through this war, and gas prices are up. But the economy is getting better. It doesn't happen overnight. It's a shame Trump doesn't have several more terms. He's a tremendous person, and I think where we live, we're in good shape."Heidi Merrihew, a 64-year-old curator at the Grant County Museum, said that gas prices are way up in her area but doesn't blame Trump for it.Merrihew told the i Paper, "I think it's just our economy, and it's really sad because we have to pay those high prices. I feel he's doing a good job. Part of the war is not totally blamed on him; he needs other people to work with, different leaders — and that's got to be complicated."Countless polls are showing Trump underwater with swing voters and independents, who helped him pull off a narrow victory in 2024. But in Grant County, many hardcore MAGA voters are still unwavering in their support for Trump.Trump voter Brad Ford, who is 63, told the i Paper he is still "Trump all the way" — adding, "I got no complaints. What is there not to like?"

Trump's retribution tour has only just begun — as loyal Republicans face a catch-22

At the White House congressional picnic on Tuesday evening, as Abba's "Dancing Queen" echoed across a lawn dotted with cornhole games, a ferris wheel, and food stations serving short ribs and apple pie, Donald Trump took time to celebrate a political scalp, according to a new story in The Guardian. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican and persistent critic of the president, had lost his primary race and was conspicuously absent from the festivities. "We won the Massie thing," Trump announced to picnic guests. "He was a bad guy. He deserves to lose."The moment exemplified Trump's ongoing campaign to purge the Republican Party of dissenters, a mission that has accelerated during his second term. Massie became the latest casualty in what observers describe as a revenge tour designed to consolidate Trump's grip on the party and eliminate those he views as insufficiently loyal. Yet this vindictive strategy may carry significant costs, potentially destabilizing the very legislative agenda Trump needs to advance and weakening the Republican coalition heading into November's midterm elections.Massie's defeat in the most expensive congressional primary in history—orchestrated largely through Trump-backed spending against the president's handpicked challenger, former Navy Seal Ed Gallrein—follows a pattern established during Trump's first term. Republicans including Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Justin Amash faced similar fates. In Trump's second term, the retribution has intensified. Five Indiana state senators lost their seats after resisting Trump's demands on congressional redistricting. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana fell to a primary challenge after voting to convict Trump during his second impeachment trial.Massie's particular offense included questioning government spending, challenging Trump's war powers assertions, and pushing for transparency regarding files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In his concession speech, Massie signaled defiance, hinting he would intensify his scrutiny during his remaining congressional tenure, particularly regarding the Epstein Files Transparency Act.The strategic problem for Trump is becoming apparent. By decimating the political careers of Republicans whose primary sin was insufficient loyalty rather than substantive policy disagreement, Trump has created a cadre of legislators with nothing to lose. Cassidy, still serving in the Senate, almost immediately threw his support behind a Democratic war powers resolution forcing Trump to end the Iran war, helping push it through after seven previous failures. Similarly, Senator Thom Tillis and former ally Marjorie Taylor Greene have begun breaking ranks, while Trump continues threatening further retribution against Senators Rand Paul and Lauren Boebert for supporting Massie.With razor-thin majorities in both chambers, Trump paradoxically needs the votes of the very people whose political destruction he orchestrated. Conservative analyst Charlie Sykes observed that Trump's victories benefit the Republican Party rather than undermining Democrats, which should concern strategists. Meanwhile, Trump's national approval rating has plummeted to 37%, while Republicans trail Democrats 39% to 50% on generic congressional ballot polling.Trump's recent endorsement of scandal-plagued Ken Paxton over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in Texas exemplifies the dilemma. The expensive Paxton race would drain resources from crucial battleground states, potentially sacrificing Republican prospects in November for personal loyalty considerations. Republicans find themselves trapped: Trump remains powerful in primary contests but may prove catastrophic in general elections where independent voters have decisively turned against him
