‘That’s an Innovative Way to Ask': J.D. Vance Says When Asked About Backing Ted Cruz or Pete Hegseth in 2028

J.D. Vance recently addressed inquiries regarding his potential support for either Ted Cruz or Pete Hegseth in the 2028 presidential race, describing the questioning as an innovative approach. Meanwhile, a potential 2028 bid for Sen. Ted Cruz is viewed as an opportunity for a do-over. Cruz was considered a strong movement conservative candidate for the GOP nomination in 2016, a trajectory that was significantly altered by the emergence of Donald Trump during that election cycle.
