JD Vance just dismantled his 2028 prospects with 'The View' interview: analyst

Vice President JD Vance was under fire on Tuesday after entering the lion's den on "The View" — prompting a response from an analyst who referred to his leadership as overblown.

Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch, told CNN's Kasie Hunt that although Vance could have political ambitions for 2028, he might end up in the running for president in a crowded race.

"Points for trying," Goldberg said. "I personally think, and I'm a little annoyed that the conventional wisdom is catching up with me, that JD Vance has been the most overrated major politician of the last few years. He underperformed every other Republican when he ran for Senate. He had to get establishment Republicans like Mitch McConnell to help him out, to get him over the finish line. This idea that he is going to inherit Trump's mantle is nonsense. There's not going to be a single mantle. There's going to be a bunch of people running as different kinds of MAGA or MAGA-adjacent people, and probably even some normie Republicans."

"And I just don'tthink he's that compelling acharacter," he added. "And he accumulatesstatements."

Goldberg referenced Vance's statement that "if you have anancestor who fought in the CivilWar, you just have more say inour politics than someone whojust got here."

"And I always wasfascinated by the quotebecause he didn't say which sideyou had to fight in the Civil War," he said. "And he dabbles with stuff.His footsies big tent for the Neo-Nazis and Nick Fuentescrowd. I think it's based on areally bad political theory. And I just don't think he hasgot the talent or thepath that a lot of people in Washington seem to think hedoes."
