The 2028 election may be four years away, but Vice President-Elect JD Vance already has a big lead over other contenders, according to a straw poll at the AmericaFest event.
It was recently revealed by two top Trump staffers that Donald Trump picked Vance as his running mate because he trusts Vance to carry on his message of America first.
Republican voters seem to know this about Vance and trust him as well.

AmericaFest Poll: JD Vance Runaway Frontrunner for 2028 Presidential Pick
Vice President-elect JD Vance is the runaway frontrunner for the Republicans’ 2028 presidential pick, according to an AmericaFest straw poll taken at the event.
In one question, the straw poll took a look beyond President-elect Donald Trump’s second term, asking attendees who they would like to see as the 2028 Republican presidential nominee.
The majority, 58 percent, want to see Vance as the presidential nominee in 2028. In a distant second place is Donald Trump Jr., with 17 percent. Another six percent said they want to see Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as the presidential nominee in 2028, and 11 percent remain undecided…
The survey’s results came shortly after AmericaFest, which took place December 19-22, 2024.
Vance remains a favorite among conservatives and has backed Trump’s Cabinet picks, including Defense Secretary Nominee Pete Hegseth, who has remained the victim of a consistent smear campaign by Democrats and the swamp.
In the graphics below, the fourth one shows the poll being referenced here. That massive purple bar shows support for Vance and as you can see, it’s not even close.

If Vance performs well as vice president, and he is expected to, he will likely walk right into the Republican nomination in 2028.
