There has been a lot of speculation about which of President Donald Trump's cabinet members will depart the administration next, and one analyst predicts the answer may be lurking behind the Vice President's door.

JD Vance has been widely considered as the heir apparent to Trump's Make America Great Again movement, even though Trump has yet to officially endorse Vance's takeover. But liberal political commentator David Pakman noted in a new reaction video on Sunday that Vance's chances of ascending to the MAGA throne appear to be sinking as prediction markets sour on the vice president.

Pakman cited recent Kalshi data that gave Vance a 34% chance of winning the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, down from 56% or 57% at one point. He noted that the same data gave Secretary of State Marco Rubio a 30% chance of winning and right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson a 6.3% chance.

"You know that Trump is going to notice this because something Trump cannot tolerate is weakness," Pakman said.

Pakman added that the prediction market data pointed to a deeper problem with Vance, and showed that he's becoming a "political liability" for Trump.

"For months, we've seen, you know, Republicans and the right-wing media figures treat Vance like it's inevitable," Pakman said. "It's going to be JD Vance. He's young, sort of. He's aggressive. He's totally loyal to Trump. He's willing to say just about anything to stay in Donald Trump's good graces. But then reality started setting in, and JD Vance gave more of these speeches, and we realized this guy lacks all charisma."

He added that Vance's lack of entertainment value could be a death knell for his time in the Trump administration.

"Trump has an entertainment value that is an important factor in his political success," Pakman said. "JD Vance is not entertaining at all. And I wish that politics didn't come down to entertainment, but especially on the Republican side, it kind of does. And so you see that self-destruction taking place."

Republicans in Congress have a contentious couple of weeks coming up as infighting over a new spending bill heats up, according to a new report.

The Hill reported on Sunday that Republicans are trying to pass a new funding bill for the Department of Defense as a third GOP-only bill through reconciliation, the same process they used to pass President Donald Trump's "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act" last year. But the move is putting Republicans at odds with one another, and is being further complicated by Trump's shifting priorities, the report added.

"That process can generally be used a limited number of times in a year, giving the GOP trifecta two more chances to use the process to usher legislation to Trump’s desk," the report reads in part. "Republicans are using the second shot at reconciliation on a 'skinny' bill to fund immigration enforcement and border security, as part of a solution to end the record-long Department of Homeland Security shutdown; and fiscal hawks are anxious to not waste their third final shot at reconciliation before the end of the year."

Even though Republicans have successfully used the reconciliation process in the past, choosing to do it again has rubbed some party members the wrong way.

“Well, show us what they want to do,” Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) told The Hill. “I’m always inclined against reconciliation bills, because I don’t like single-party solutions. I never have. I voted against multiple Democrat and Republican reconciliation bills, because they’re single-party solutions.”

Fitzpatrick's support for a bipartisan deal puts him at odds with other Republicans, such as Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX), who want to complete the reconciliation process before the August recess, according to the report.

“We’re going to have to move quickly,” Arrington told the outlet. “I think we have 25 legislative days left before August break. We need to have something out of the House by then, at least. So, time is of the essence.”

This is happening at a time when Trump seems to be pulling the Republican Party in competing directions, the report noted. It pointed to issues like Trump's anti-fraud campaign at home and the war in Iran as issues that seem to be taking up a lot of airspace within the GOP.

A recent interview of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sent a long-time GOP pollster into a tailspin on Sunday.

Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, reacted to Graham's interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Sunday, where he claimed that Sen. Bill Cassidy's (R-LA) primary loss was a good thing for the Republican Party, during a new episode of the "Bulwark Takes" podcast with Sam Stein, The Bulwark's managing editor. Longwell claimed the interview was "revolting" and showed something truly disturbing about Graham's personality.

"First of all, what an obsequious piece of garbage Lindsey Graham is," Longwell said. "That is such a revolting interview — him needing to sit down and be like, 'This is the party of Donald Trump. Let me see how hard I can kiss up to him.' I remember when Donald Trump gave out his phone number in the primary, and so people were calling him, and Lindsey Graham made a video of himself golfing, hitting his phone, and crushing it."

Graham was one of Trump's biggest critics when Trump first ran for office in 2015. Graham said at the time that the Republican Party would "get crushed" if it elected Trump as its presidential nominee.

However, Graham has since changed his tune. He has been one of the biggest supporters of Trump's highly controversial war in Iran, and has regularly defended the president from criticism on issues ranging from the economy to the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Graham's mindset shift happened as Trump sought to completely remake the Republican Party in his image. For instance, Trump endorsed state candidates in Indiana who support his redistricting scheme after he met resistance from the current statehouse.

Trump has also endorsed candidates like Navy veteran Ed Gallrein, who is running to unseat Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) after Massie publicly supported survivors of Epstein's crimes in his effort to force the Trump administration to release the Epstein files.

"The extent to which [Graham is] willing to deeply humiliate himself knows no bottom as best I can tell," Longwell said.
