The Hill, The Daily Beast and HuffPost report that Fox News hosts Brian Kilmeade and Brit Hume discussed Vice President JD Vance’s prospects for the 2028 Republican nomination on Wednesday’s Brian Kilmeade Show. The outlets say Kilmeade said Vance is not as popular with Republicans as he thinks he is, and that Hume said Vance’s close alliance with President Donald Trump could work against him, depending on how the public and the party feel about Trump by 2028. HuffPost also reports that Vance said earlier this month that Trump’s endorsement was not a foregone conclusion.
